Guava Whip - cooking recipe

Ingredients

10 ripe guavas
5 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon gelatin powder (or equivalent in sheets)
1/4 cup hot water
1 cup prepared custard (shop-bought is fine)
1/2 cup fresh cream

Preparation

Peel guavas thinly, cut into chunks, and boil in very little water until very soft.
Mash them or liquidise. If you'd like a smoother puree, press through a sieve.
Add the sugar, stir, and simmer gently again until thick. Remove from heat.
Dissolve the gelatine in the 1/4 cup hot water and add to the guava puree.
Whisk in custard, and then the cream.
Pour into individual bowls, or in a dessert bowl, cool, and then leave in fridge until needed.
Garnish with a blob of cream or any berries if you like.
