Flan de guayaba - Cooked by Julie episode 306

sweetened condensed milk

🥗Healthier: coconut milk

💰Cheaper: regular milk + sugar

Coconut milk offers a lower calorie option with a similar texture.

guava paste

🥗Healthier: fresh guava puree

💰Cheaper: fruit preserves

Fresh guava puree is lighter and may be more accessible.

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water, swirling to mix without stirring.

Simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until it turns golden caramel.

Pour the caramel into a 9-inch pie dish, coating the bottom.

In a blender, add eggs, evaporated milk (shaken), sweetened condensed milk, softened cream cheese, and guava paste.

Blend until smooth, ensuring the guava paste is liquefied.

Prepare a water bath using a larger oven-safe dish with water.

Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the pie dish.

Place the pie dish in the preheated oven at 350°F for about 1 hour or until fully cooked.

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 40 minutes before refrigerating for 4 hours.

After chilling, use a knife to loosen the edges before serving.
