It is called guava cheese but has nothing to do with cheese It is somewhat like how we make banana halwa. In this case the fruits are cut and steam boiled in a pressure cooker, blended and then the seeds removed. Equal quantity of sugar is added and then kept on slow fire and stirred till it is ready to be plated. A bit of butter or ghee is added. Once cooled it can be cut into pieces. Image credit:

I'm not much of a fan of the Guava fruit but will use it occasionally to make "sinigang na bayabas" (pork in guava soup). Looking at the recipe, it seems simple enough to give it try. I'll have to use butter since ghee is not readily available here and a hassle to make clarified butter.

I cannot deny that is not easy but possible. Good Luck.

That's interesting. I don't know that guava can be eaten in this way. Here we regard the guava as a kind of fruit and we will just eat it directly. But I am not very interested in this fruit.

Guavas are rich in vitamin C
