Guava Paste Cream with Heavy Cream (Minas Gerais Dessert)

In a bowl, combine the heavy cream and squeeze in the juice from half a lime.

Mix the heavy cream and lime base well and set the mixture aside.

Cut half of the guava paste (about 200g from a standard 400g block) into smaller pieces.

In a saucepan, add about 50 ml of water and bring it to a boil over heat.

As soon as the water boils, add the pieces of guava paste to the saucepan.

Cook and stir the guava paste until it reaches a smooth, homogeneous sauce/cream consistency, which is the ideal point.

Remove the guava paste sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Spoon the warm or cool sauce over the reserved heavy cream base.

Serve immediately or refrigerate to firm up before consuming.
