I had some left over guava from the cake I made my mom earlier in the week for her birthday and decided to use it as a filling. Plus what goes better with guava than a sweet cream cheese.
Crepe mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp melted butter
3/4 cup warm water
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour
In a bowl whisk the eggs and milk together, next add in the melted butter, water, sugar and vanilla extract. Slowly whisk in the flour making sure there are no lumps. Heat a pan to medium low heat and spray a little non stick cooking spray on the pan, you will only need to do this once or twice while cooking the crepes. Spread 1/4 cup of the mix along the bottom of the pan, rotating the pan slowly to evenly distribute a thin layer of the crepe mix on the pan. Let it cook for a little less than two minutes or until the sides of the crepe start to come away from the pan, flip and let cool for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Guava filling
1 tin of guava 21oz
1/3 cup of water
Open the tin and using a butter knife cut the guava into small squares, remove from tin and add it to a small pot. Add the water in and bring the mix to a boil making sure to stir. Once it starts to boil lower the heat and let it simmer. We are doing this to just loosen the guava and make it spreadable. Stir until there are no more lumps in the guava mix, remove from heat and let cool down a bit.
For the guava drizzle I just added some of the guava to a little squirt bottle and added about 1-2 tsps of water to the mix. Shake the bottle so the guava become a little more runny and use it to top the whip cream.
Sweet cream cheese mix
8oz cream cheese softened
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup of milk
In a bowl mix the cream cheese with an electric mixer until it is smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and milk, next add in the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
Whipped cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Add everything to a bowl and using an electric mixer whisk until it forms peaks, place in the refrigerator for it to firm up a bit while you assemble the crepes.
For the crepes add a thin layer of cream cheese, then a thin layer of the guava (the guava is pretty sweet so you don't want to add too much). Fold the crepe over and add the whipped cream and drizzle with a little bit of guava.
Louis absolutely loved it, and it reminded me a bit of the Entenmanns guava puffs.
