Shiny and moundable, this dessert has the unmistakable scent and granular texture of guava. Although it’s so easy you might question its merit, the substantial body and rich aroma lift the dessert out of the ordinary.

Ingredients

  • 3 guavas, about 3 ounces each
  • About 3 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ cup

Method

Rinse guavas and trim off blossom ends. Cut fruit in 1-inch pieces, reserving 2 small slivers for garnish. Combine in blender or processor with 3 tablespoons sugar and the cream. Whirl until puréed. Press through a nonaluminum fine sieve. Spoon into individual dessert dishes and chill, covered. To serve, garnish with fruit slice and additional cream, if desired.
