Ingredients

Servings

• 8 ounce Guava paste
• 1 cup Evaporated milk
• 1 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Water
• ¹⁄₂ cup Sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a saucepan, melt the guava paste with water over medium heat, stirring until smooth.
3. In a blender, combine the guava paste mixture, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until well combined.
4. In a small saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns golden brown. Pour the caramelized sugar into a 9-inch round baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom.
5. Pour the custard mixture over the caramelized sugar in the baking dish.
6. Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the baking dish to create a water bath.
7. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let it cool for 10 minutes.
9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
10. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the dish and invert onto a serving plate.
