Why it is called guava cheese is not known as it is far from cheese. I would call it halwa or toffee.
I have made it quite successfully many times specially during Christmas. And when we had guavas growing that was a repeat performance.
Guavas are made into a paste after boiling and removing the seeds. An equal quantity of sugar is added to the paste and cooked along with a bit of ghee When the stuff leaves the side of the vessel in which it is being cooked, it is poured in trays that are lined with ghee. When cooled they are cut into pieces.

Never had it like that before though
Are the trays lined with ghee to stop it sticking
