Guava Mousse

When I walked into a local market with a friend of mine this afternoon, we both paused and inhaled deeply. She embarked on a search for that delicious scent and I went to grab a few of the things I needed to get.

"I found it!" she declared, coming to find me and gesturing towards a bin of guava. So, I walked over and plunked half a dozen of the fragrant fruit into my basket.

After my boys devoured half of the guavas, I decided to make an adaptation of this easy Banana Mousse. I'm going to head back to the market tomorrow to scoop up a few more. This was as delectable as it was easy.


Ingredients
  • 2 C organic heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 C organic granulated sugar
  • 3 ripe guavas
  • 1/2 t ground cinnamon

Procedure
Destem and chop your guava into cubes. Place the pieces in your blender along with the sugar. Puree until smooth. Press the guava pulp through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds. I ended up with about 1 C smooth guava puree.

In a large mixing bowl, whip the cream and ground cinnamon until stiff peaks form. 

Fold the guava mixture into the whipped cream.

Spoon the mousse into serving glasses; I used small jars. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless.
