Ingredients

  • CRUMB CRUST:
  • 2 cups digestive biscuits finely crushed
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • ½ tsp. nutmeg
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • FILLING:
  • 250 g 9 ounces cream cheese
  • 15 ml 1 tablespoon gelatin
  • 1 can condensed milk 395 g
  • 1 can Fruta guava juice 315 ml
  • 8 slices guava cheese chopped (Tricopilia brand)
  • Juice and rind of one lemon

Instructions

  • Make a guava puree with the guava juice and guava cheese.
  • Note: We used Fruta Guava Pineapple Juice Drink for the guava puree. Here’s how to make the guava puree Heat about 100 ml of the juice in a deep pot; add the guava cheese and stir until the mixture blends well. Add the remainder of the juice. Stir until mixture is somewhat thick and smooth. Remove and leave to cool.
  • Crush or place the biscuit in a food processor to grind smoothly. Mix together with softened butter, cinnamon and nutmeg. Press the crushed biscuit into a mini baking dish.
  • Add gelatin to lemon juice and dissolve by heating over hot water or in a microwave. Soften the cream cheese then add gelatin.
  • Beat together the cream cheese, condensed milk, dissolved gelatin, and lemon rind. Add the guava puree and beat until smooth.
  • Pour mixture into the pie crust and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. Finally, decorate top with whip cream and/ or fresh fruits or you can drizzle on some more guava puree to your liking.
