Ice Cream Base

Guava Shells

Method

Ice Cream Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Guava Puree

    Peel the ripe guavas and remove the seeds. Chop them into smaller pieces and place them in a blender. Blend until smooth.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the guava puree, granulated sugar, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until it is completely chilled.

  4. 4

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  5. 5

    Freeze the Ice Cream

    Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Guava Shells Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Guava Shells

    Peel the remaining ripe guavas and cut them in half. Remove the seeds and scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer of guava attached to the shell.

  2. 7

    Cook the Shells

    In a saucepan, combine the guava shells, granulated sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until the shells are tender and syrupy.

  3. 8

    Cool the Shells

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the guava shells cool in the syrup. Once cooled, set aside for serving.
