Where to find ingredients
Sweetened condensed milk, regular milk, plain yogurt, and gelatin powder are widely available in the dairy and baking aisles of most supermarkets. Guavas can often be found in the produce section of larger supermarkets, especially during their season, or at Latin American or specialty fruit markets. If fresh guavas are unavailable, you might find guava paste or nectar in the international foods aisle, which could be used as a base for a syrup, though the flavor will be different.
Preparation method
- Hydrate the gelatin powder in 6 tablespoons of cold water
- Gently heat the hydrated gelatin in a double boiler until completely dissolved
- In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, milk, plain yogurt, and dissolved gelatin
- Pour the mixture into a lightly oiled or wet ring mold
- Refrigerate for approximately 4 hours, or until the flan is firm
- While the flan chills, prepare the syrup: peel and dice the guavas
- Place the guava cubes in a saucepan with the sugar and 1 and 1/2 cups of water
- Cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the guavas are very soft and starting to break down
- Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the contents to a blender
- Blend until you have a smooth puree
- Return the guava puree to the saucepan and cook over low heat for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens
- If the syrup becomes too thick during cooking, add the optional half cup of water to adjust the consistency
- Let the guava syrup cool completely before serving over the flan
