Ingredients
1 sachet of unflavored powdered gelatin
6 tablespoons of cold water
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 can of whole milk (use the empty condensed milk can for measurement)
2 pots of plain yogurt
6 medium-sized red guavas
1/2 cup of sugar
1 1/2 cups of water (for the sauce)
1/2 cup of water (optional, for adjusting the sauce consistency)
6 tablespoons of cold water
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 can of whole milk (use the empty condensed milk can for measurement)
2 pots of plain yogurt
6 medium-sized red guavas
1/2 cup of sugar
1 1/2 cups of water (for the sauce)
1/2 cup of water (optional, for adjusting the sauce consistency)
Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local island markets or general grocery stores. Look for fresh guavas in the produce section; if they are out of season, canned guava pulp or high-quality guava paste (goiabada) may be used as a substitute, adjusting the sugar accordingly. Plain yogurt and condensed milk are standard items found in the dairy and baking aisles.
Preparation method
- Hydrate the powdered gelatin in 6 tablespoons of cold water.
- Dissolve the hydrated gelatin in a bain-marie until completely smooth.
- In a blender, process the sweetened condensed milk, milk, plain yogurt, and the dissolved gelatin until combined.
- Pour the mixture into a ring mold that has been lightly moistened with water.
- Refrigerate for approximately 4 hours, or until the flan is firm and set.
- While the flan sets, prepare the sauce: peel the guavas and dice them into cubes.
- Place the guava cubes in a saucepan with the sugar and 1 1/2 cups of water.
- Cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the guavas are tender and beginning to break down.
- Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the contents to a blender; process until a smooth puree is obtained.
- Return the guava puree to the saucepan and simmer over low heat for an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
- If the sauce becomes too thick during cooking, add the remaining 1/2 cup of water to reach the desired consistency.
- Allow the guava sauce to cool completely before pouring it over the chilled flan to serve.
