Guava Mousse
Author: kevinThe other day a neighbor dropped off some incredible smelling fruit that happened to be Guava. They were so aromatic that the entire house was perfumed with their scent and it was amazing.
I thought about it and figured I’d make a dessert of some sorts and decided on a puree to incorporate into a mousse.
- 30 guavas
- juice from one lemon
- Sans Sucre® Low Fat Cheesecake Mousse Mix
- 3/4 cup low-fat milk
To start I sliced the guava in half and scooped out the pulp and seeds. I then pressed the fruit through a course sieve to extract the pulp and remove the seeds. A tedious task, but much needed as the seeds are small and in the heart of the fruit – not easily removed. Keep in a bowl and add a squeeze of lemon juice to keep from discoloring, and to add a bit of tartness to offset the sweet guava. Mix thoroughly to incorporate.
In another bowl, add the milk to the mouse mixture and beat per instructions with egg beaters until the mouse is airy and light. Slowly with a spatula, fold in the guava pulp and mix completely. Pour into individual small serving bowls and chill until ready to serve. Makes eight 1/2 cup servings.
