1
Prepare the Guavas
Rinse the fresh guavas under running water to clean. Cut each guava in half and scoop out the seeds if necessary.
2
Cook the Guavas
In a pot, add the halved guavas, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 15 minutes until the guavas are tender.
3
Cool the Mixture
Remove the pot from heat, and let the guavas cool for a few minutes. Use a fork to mash the guavas into a chunky pulp.

4
Mix the Cream Cheese
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.

5
Assemble the Dish
In serving dishes, layer the guava pulp at the bottom and spoon the cream cheese mixture on top.
6
Garnish
Top with fresh mint leaves and sprinkle chili powder over the cream cheese layer to add a touch of heat and flavor.
7
Serve
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or dessert.
