Easy Guava Duff


So, there is a simpler way to make guava duff; who knew? Even though nothing beats a guava duff made from fresh guavas, I had to settle for canned; not only because of the season, but it seems as if homegrown guavas are becoming such a rarity these days. Surprisingly, the canned stuff really delivered! The prep time for this recipe has been reduced considerably; which probably makes it one of the easiest ways to make guava duff. This recipe could also double as a guava swirl.

Disclaimer: This is guava duff, done my way, of course; so please don’t come for me, lol.

Ingredients:

Dough:
  • 3 cups flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup melted butter

Filling:
  • Two 12 oz canned guavas

Sauce:
  • Cream cheese
  • Guava
  • Guava syrup
  • Coconut milk
  • Vanilla


Instructions:
  • Sift dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix.
  • Mix in egg, butter and vanilla
  • Add milk a bit at a time and mix until a firm dough forms. Use more milk if needed.
  • Drain liquid from guava and set aside.
  • Crush guava with a mixer or blender.
  • Knead dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out to desired width.
  • Spread filling on dough approximately one inch away from the edges.
  • Roll the dough (just like a jelly roll) and seal the edges.
  • Steam the dough in a greased double boiler (or whatever you have) for about 45 minutes to one hour or until properly cooked.

Sauce:
  • Blend all ingredients until smooth.
  • Pour over duff before serving.
