We don't have much choice when it comes to recipes using guava. But at least we have a good choice if we have pink guava with soft flesh, beautiful color, and strong fragrance compared to white guava.

In addition to different colors, a significant difference between pink guava and white guava is in the texture. White guava has a crunchier texture and is usually served as a fruit salad with spicy and savory spices. As for pink guava, it is usually made into juice and is also used to treat dengue fever.

Well, after getting enough ripe guava from a small forest near my house, I thought of some recipes to make.

If you want to see my activity in harvesting wild guava fruits, you can watch my previous post: Harvesting Wild Guavas

I already have a choice of cakes or pudding recipes. However, because my nephews prefer pudding with agar powder, so I decided to make guava pudding.




THE INGREDIENTS

2E311724-C465-413C-A51A-30DDB7A9B52E.jpeg

  • 2-3 Ripe Pink Guava Fruits
  • 500 ml of water
  • 6-7 grams of red agar powder, or you can use plain agar powder but you have to add food coloring later.
  • 200 ml of coconut milk.
  • 100 grams of sugar (Depends on your taste).



The guava pudding recipes all use plant-based ingredients.

Red Agar Powder.

I'm sure the color of the guava pudding would be great. Incidentally, I have a supply of “red agar powder” at home.

Instant Coconut Milk With Creamy In Texture.


The important ingredient to make the pudding taste savory and also creamy in texture is coconut milk. I use instant coconut milk like this because the texture is thicker, compared to fresh coconut milk from coconut meat. This type of coconut milk is similar to coconut cream, but of course, it is not denser than coconut cream.

I also use coconut milk for the pudding presentation stage at the final stage. The coconut milk will look like flan and will add a nice scent to the whole pudding.

Let's start with how to make "Plant-based Guava Pudding With Coconut Milk". Stay tuned!




Step 1

Blend guava, then strain. Prepare no more than 600 ml of guava juice.

Anyway, you don't have to worry about a slightly gritty texture if you find it in guava juice. Indeed, some types of pink guava, it has a rough flesh texture. But it doesn't matter, it won't interfere with the taste. The use of coconut milk will save the overall taste.




Step 2

In a pan, mix guava juice with sugar, agar powder, and coconut milk.

Stir well until you really don't see any lumps of Agar Powder.




Step 3

Cook the guava juice mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.




Step 4

After the pudding mixture has boiled, turn off the heat and stir briefly to reduce the heat, before transferring to the pudding mold.




Step 5

After the hot steam of the pudding has reduced, then transfer the pudding to the molds.

Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.




Step 6

Serve with coconut milk, flan, or yogurt and slices of fresh fruit.

You can also add biscuit crumbs to enhance the taste and texture.




PLATING

I'll also show you how I plated this guava pudding.

I used additional ingredients: thick coconut milk, biscuit crumbs, and grape slices.




Step 1

3812C514-44D4-42F0-A22F-C98B9AEAEB0F.jpeg

Slice the grapes into thin slices. Remove the seeds before cutting the grapes into smaller pieces so they don't crumble. Use a small, sharp knife.




Step 2

Prepare the biscuit crumbs. I used coconut biscuits which smelled so good! It seemed to spread throughout my room.

7494B4AD-308A-4854-BB7B-E8E6079DBA8B.jpeg

Crush the biscuits. Here I only used a manual grinder, not a food processor. We only need a little to add to the overall flavor of the desserts.

If you don't find coconut biscuit crumbs, almond flakes are the right choice to complement desserts!




Step 3

Start pouring the pudding with coconut milk. Do it for only a little part of the pudding so that the guava pudding remains the main focus of the presentation.




Step 4

After you finish adding the coconut milk, carefully add the biscuit crumbs.

In the final step, add the slices of fresh grapes. Be sure to arrange the grape slices neatly for a beautiful plating result.

Interesting! I like guava only when it is still green and cruncy and not as much when it is ripe. So i wonder how guava flavored desserts taste like...

Lovely photography as usual. ❤️

Tropical flavor. :)

Yeah, not everyone likes pink guava because the texture is too smooth. And making them as a dessert will be a great choice.

Well, I like white guava too, eating with spicy sauce :)

Well, for a first time it turned out beautiful and for sure very delicious. This variety of guava, the one that is yellow inside, is very fragrant, slightly reminiscent of the smell and taste of pineapple. The red guava is also fragrant and tasty, but its smell and taste is less citric. Beautiful result, you are a great chef

The plating or presentation is so pretty!!! I haven't tried guava pudding... just guava fruit or maybe guava jam once in the past. I like guava fruit, though. It also has great health benefits. ^^

You have to try. combine guava juice with agar powder or gelatin for a non-plant-based ingredient

Looks incredible, love this chef! I do like the white guavas with chili and salt, but I much prefer this pink-fleshed variety. I haven't encountered the pink ones here in Suriname yet, but we'll be eating plenty when we get back to Cambodia.

Your photos are truly beautiful @anggreklestari! And I was just wondering what to do with a box of guava a neighbour brought us! I don't think my photos can nearly be as colourful as yours but I'm going to try your recipe. Thank you

hey @buckaroobaby to add beautiful color, I use red agar powder. :)

but you can just use natural color from giava itself if you have good quality of guava.

My guava from wild tree, so the color not really good.

I cant wait to see your dessert ❤️🌸

Thank you for the tip @anggreklestari but we don't get red agar here. Our guava is quite pink but it won't be such a beautiful bright colour as yours. Although I'm sure it will taste yummy
