Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 1 pound total) ripe guava
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 cups (for cooling the guava pulp) ice cubes
- 2 sprigs (optional, for garnish) mint leaves
Instructions
Wash, peel, and cut the ripe guavas into halves. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds, leaving only the pulp and outer flesh.
Blend the guava pulp in a blender until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any leftover seeds or fibers, yielding smooth guava puree.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the guava puree with lime juice. Stir until fully incorporated, then place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed for about 3-4 minutes, or until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream, using a spatula to mix without deflating the cream.
Remove the chilled guava puree from the refrigerator and fold it into the whipped cream mixture. Mix lightly until the color and texture are uniform. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the guava whip into serving glasses or bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
Before serving, optionally garnish each serving with a mint leaf and a small slice of guava or a lime wedge for a decorative touch.
