How to make Guava Flan without oven
- Wash the guava and cut into 4. Then blend the fruit until you get the nectar.
- Strain the guava juice. Discard the seeds.
- Previously beat the cream cheese so that it catches air and feels creamier. Pour all the remaining ingredients into a large bowl and stir until perfectly integrated.
- Trick: You can replace the cream cheese with milk or cream.
- Prepare the caramel directly in the flanera or, if you prefer, in a separate casserole, to later incorporate it. Add the sugar and water that barely moistens it. Cook over high heat, wait for bubbles to appear, the sugar to consume and turn amber. When the liquid caramel is ready, spread it inside the mold destined for the guava flan. Try to cover everything inside. Then, wait for it to cool down and pour the flan mixture.
- Prepare the water bath by preheating the water. The liquid should not exceed 3/4 parts of the container that contains the flan. Cook the guava flan in a bain-marie and wait 1 hour before applying the toothpick test.
- What does this test consist of? If you poke the cheese and the toothpick comes out dry, it is ready, otherwise you must continue cooking. The approximate cooking time is 1 hour and a half. Once the cooking is finished, you should let it cool down to room temperature before refrigerating.
- The next day, take the cold guava pie out of the refrigerator and wait for it to reach room temperature. Then, unmold very carefully
