This no-bake Guava Mousse Delight is a tropical treat that combines creamy texture with vibrant guava flavor.

Ingredients

    For the Mousse:

    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
    • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
    • ⅓ cup guava puree or guava paste diluted to make a smooth puree
    • 1 teaspoon guava flavor extract
    • ¼ cup powdered sugar (optional, to adjust sweetness)
    • 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin dissolved in 2 tablespoons warm water (optional, for structure)

    For the Base (Optional):

    • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs or crushed cookies
    • 2 tablespoons melted butter

    Garnish (Optional):

    • Fresh guava slices
    • Toasted coconut flakes

    Directions

    1. Press the buttery graham cracker crust into a serving pan and chill briefly to set.

    2. Meanwhile, whip the chilled heavy cream with cream cheese and powdered sugar (if using) until soft peaks form.

    3. Gently fold in guava puree and a teaspoon of guava flavor extract for a rich guava burst.

    4. For firmer mousse perfect for clean slices, dissolve and incorporate gelatin.

    5. Pour the mixture over the chilled crust, smooth the top, and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours until the mousse is set.

    6. Garnish with fresh guava slices or toasted coconut for added texture and visual pop.
