The guava is one of those exotic fruits that transport you directly under the tropics. If you are looking for a way to bring a fresh, tangy and delicately sweet touch to your ice cream, this guava coulis is perfect for that! It has a velvety texture and a magnificent color, ideal for sublimating ice cream made with the Ninja Creami.
Ingredients :
- 3 ripe guava
- 50 g of sugar (adjusting according to the softness of the fruit)
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 50 ml of water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Preparation :
- Prepares the guava
begins by peeling the guava and removing the seeds, as they can be a little hard. Cut the flesh into small pieces. If you have never prepared a guava before, don't worry, it's super simple. And the perfume that it gives off is just divine! - Cooking the guava
in a small saucepan, adds the guava pieces, water, sugar and lemon juice. Heat over low heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the pieces are very tender and the mixture begins to become a syrupy. Lemon juice helps balance the natural sweetness of the guava. - Mixing
once the guava is well cooked, mixes everything to obtain a very smooth coulis. If you want a super silky result, pass the mixture through a fine colander to remove the small pieces of skin or pulp. I like a slightly thicker texture, so I keep everything! - Add the vanilla (optional)
if you want a little touch of additional sweetness, adds the vanilla extract at this stage. It makes the coulis even more greedy and it's perfect for lovers of sweet flavors. - Let cool
let the coulis cool to room temperature before using it to coat your ice cream. Then keep it in an airtight pot in the fridge, it keeps well for about a week (but hey, it may be swallowed up before!).
My Personal Tip:
This guava coulis is a real treat on vanilla or coconut ice cream made with the Ninja Creami. I also love to associate it with a red fruits sorbet for a contrast of flavors between tangy and sweet. If you are a fan of cocktails, try to add a little to a mojito or a lemonade for a tropical twist that will surprise everyone!
Here, a simple and easy way to bring an exotic and fruity touch to your homemade ice cream. With this guava coulis, you will transform any frozen dessert into a real invitation to travel. Your Ninja Creami creations will never be the same!
