Pink guavas are finally at LA farmer’s markets and I’ve been waiting to make guava paste and pastelillos since your newsletter. OMG!! Thanks for inspiring people to try new things!
In the region im from in brazil its very common guava paste with cheese (not cream cheese, but gonna try it now) and i love it so much its one of the tastes of my childhood
Oh this... there's a brioche doughnut shop in Seattle that sells a guava con queso filled doughnut that is just the most amazing flavor combination. If you're ever in town, it's the one flavor I highly recommend from the place. The others are just ok, but this one... and I am not even a huge cream cheese fan. The balance is just perfect.
I do not like cream cheese. However I do love a bit of guava paste on a cookie, like a Maria cookie, and then- this is the clincher, a sprinkle of FRESH LIME JUICE. My friends laugh when I eat it because guava paste is an "old lady food".
