Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh red guavas at local fruit markets or the produce section of major supermarkets. Plain yogurt, condensed milk, and gelatin are readily available in the dairy and baking aisles of general food stores. For a substitute, canned guava paste or bottled guava nectar can be used if fresh guavas are out of season, though the texture and freshness of the homemade sauce will differ.
Preparation method
- Hydrate the gelatin powder in the 6 tablespoons of cold water.
- Place the hydrated gelatin in a bain-marie until it has completely dissolved.
- In a blender, combine the condensed milk, whole milk, plain yogurt, and the dissolved gelatin.
- 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.
- Place the diced guavas in a saucepan with the sugar and 1 1/2 cups of water.
- Cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the fruit is very soft and beginning to break down.
- Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the contents to a blender; process until you have a smooth purée.
- Return the guava purée to the pan and simmer over low heat for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
- If the sauce becomes too thick during cooking, add the remaining 1/2 cup of water to adjust the consistency.
- Allow the guava sauce to cool completely before drizzling it over the flan to serve.
