Homemade Guava Ice Cream: Colombina's Guava Spread Recipe



Why settle for just a typical jam spread when you can make homemade guava ice cream that will become your favorite dessert, no matter the season? Excited? Let's dive into this delightful and refreshing guava ice cream recipe.

 

What You'll Need:

  • 1 cup of 2% milk
  • 2 cups of half and half
  • 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
  • â…” cup of granulated sugar
  • A pinch of coarse salt or Hawaiian sea salt
  • ½ – 1 cup of Colombina's Guava Spread

 

Let's Whip Up Some Magic:

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a roomy bowl, whisk together milk, half and half, vanilla, sugar, and salt until the sugar fully dissolves.
  2. Incorporate the Guava: Pour in Colombina's Guava Spread. Blend until it's smooth and dreamy.
  3. First Freeze: Transfer this tropical concoction into a shallow, freezer-friendly dish. Let it chill for about 1-2 hours, or until you notice the edges starting to firm up.
  4. Stir and Banish the Ice Crystals: Once the edges have set, give the mixture a hearty stir. This step ensures a creamy texture by preventing the formation of ice crystals. And don't fret if a few crystals form; the tropical flavors will still shine through!
  5. Repeat the Process: Return it to the freezer. Every half an hour or so, stir it up. Repeat this step three times or until you achieve a soft, creamy consistency.
  6. The Final Freeze: When the texture feels just right, cover the dish, ensuring that the wrap touches the mixture's surface. This helps minimize ice crystals. Now, let it freeze for 4 hours or longer.
  7. Scoop, Serve, and Savor: Once it's frozen, allow it to soften a bit at room temperature. Then, scoop, serve, and, if you wish, drizzle it with more Colombina's Guava Spread. Dive right in!
