Romeo and Juliet Dessert Tray

A luscious layered dessert celebrating the classic pairing of creamy cheese and sweet guava!

Ingredients:

Creamy Cheese Layer:

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

• 1 box (8 oz) heavy cream (or table cream)

• 1 cup (180-200g) cream cheese, softened

• 1 packet unflavored gelatin, prepared according to package instructions

Guava Sauce Layer:

• 300g guava paste, cubed

• 150ml water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Creamy Cheese Layer:

   • In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, cream cheese, and dissolved gelatin. Blend until smooth and well incorporated.

   • Pour the mixture into a serving dish or tray and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until fully set.

2. Make the Guava Sauce:

   • In a small saucepan, combine the cubed guava paste and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the guava melts into a smooth, thick sauce (about 5-7 minutes).

   • Remove from heat and let cool slightly (it should still be pourable but not hot).

3. Assemble the Dessert:

   • Once the cream layer is firm, gently pour the cooled guava sauce over the top, spreading it evenly.

   • Return to the refrigerator and chill for another 2 hours, or until the guava layer sets.

4. Serve & Enjoy:

   • Slice into squares or scoop into bowls and serve chilled.
