I made the viral yogurt cheesecake with guava sauce and it was delicious! Truth be told, I am not a fan of plain greek yogurt. But add Biscoff cookies and guava sauce to the mix and we’ve got a winning combination of flavors!

Guava is one of my favorite tropical fruits. Growing up Puerto Rican, I remember eating pastelillos de guayaba quite often as a child. On Saturday afternoons while doing our weekly compra (grocery shopping), I would enjoy a warm pastelillo while my parents did the shopping. The local supermarket we would go to sold freshly made guava pastries on the weekends, so this recipe stirs up a lot of nostalgia for me! As an adult, I enjoy anything guava-flavored. It brings me back to my childhood days.

Where to find fresh guava?

Of course, everything is better when made from scratch. I recommend ordering pink guavas from Tropical Fruit Box.. This online shop is based in Miami where tropical fruit is available year-round. I don’t typically find fresh guava where I live in New Jersey so they are my plug! Use my code MADEWITHSAZON para ahorrar $10 en su orden.

I recommend using full fat or low-fat Greek yogurt for best results. Higher fat will yield a richer and more cheesecake-like flavor and texture.

How to make yogurt cheesecake?

Make the guava sauce

Add the guava paste to a saucepan with water and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Cool to room temperature and fill a piping bag or squeeze bottle with the sauce. Store the remaining sauce in a mason jar in the refrigerator.

Assemble the cheesecake:

In an air-tight container, add a layer of Greek yogurt. Next, add the Biscoff cookies about 1/2 inch apart from each other. Then, drizzle with guava sauce. Repeat the steps until the container is filled. Allow the cheesecake to set in the refrigerator for about 6 hours. You can also set in the freezer for about 1-2 hours until firm but not frozen solid.

Serve with a drizzle of guava sauce and Biscoff crumble on top. Enjoy! ¡Buen provecho!

Can I make this ahead?

Yes, you can make the guava sauce ahead of time, up to 2-3 days in advance. The guava sauce should be stored in the refrigerator. Assemble the cheesecake about 6 hours ahead of serving time if setting in the refrigerator, 2 hours ahead if setting in the freezer.

Can I use frozen guava pulp instead?

Yes, you can use frozen guava pulp in place of guava paste. Follow the recipe below:

1 (14 oz) package of frozen guava pulp, thawed
1 cup white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lime juice, optional

Add ingredients to a saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 25 minutes, stirring frequently. Store guava jam in a tightly sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

Tips:

I recommend using full fat or low-fat Greek yogurt for best results. Higher fat will yield a richer and more cheesecake-like flavor and texture.

Flavor the yogurt will vanilla, crushed fruit, jam, syrup, or agave to your liking. Alternatively, you could top the cheesecake with fresh fruit, honey, jam, or syrup.

Allow the cheesecake to set in the freezer for 1-2 hours only. Otherwise, it will freeze solid and this will change the texture.

Where to find fresh guavas?

Fresh guavas can be found at Hispanic supermarkets and grocery stores but white guavas are more accessible, for some reason. I order pink guava from Tropical Fruit Box.Use mi código de descuento madewithsazon to save $10 on your order.
