How to Make Guava Cheese Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes (this step was omitted from the original recipe, but chilling improves the crust).
  3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  4. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  5. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  6. Prepare the guava filling: In a saucepan, combine guava paste, sugar, and lime juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the guava paste is melted and smooth.
  7. Prepare the cheese filling: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the condensed milk and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
  8. Assemble the tart: Spread the guava filling evenly over the baked crust. Top with the cheese filling.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese filling is set and lightly golden.
  10. Let cool completely before removing from the pan and serving. Enjoy!
