Guava Ice Cream is a delightful and exotic treat that brings the tropical flavors of guava right to your home. This creamy frozen dessert is not only refreshingly delicious but also easy to make, making it perfect for summer gatherings or a sweet indulgence anytime.
1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the chopped guavas and lime juice. Blend until smooth, making sure there are no chunks remaining.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly thickened.
Gently fold the guava puree into the cream mixture using a spatula, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and smooth the top with a spatula. Seal the container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Scoop the guava ice cream into bowls or cones, garnish as desired, and serve.
