Guava Frosting
Description
Guava Frosting uses guava paste blended smoothly with soft salted butter as its base. Powdered sugar is added gradually along with heavy cream to control consistency, resulting in a luscious, creamy frosting that can be piped or spread. Vanilla adds subtle aromatic notes, while a pinch of salt balances the sweetness. The cream's quantity is adjusted for the desired texture, making it versatile for decorating purposes.
This frosting pairs well with light cakes and cupcakes, especially those with tropical or citrus flavors. Its smooth texture and delicate fruity sweetness complement rather than overpower the dessert. Guava paste gives it a distinct flavor profile uncommon in typical frostings.
The recipe advises gradual mixing of powdered sugar and cream to achieve the right consistency. Scraping the bowl during mixing helps maintain uniform texture and prevents clumps. This frosting should be used promptly for best texture and appearance.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, salted
- 10 ounces guava paste cut into chunks
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 4-6 Tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Cream butter and guava paste together in the bowl of a stand mixer using the whisk attachment until creamy and smooth, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing between each addition and adding 1 tablespoon of cream each time. Add vanilla and salt and beat for 5 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl periodically and adding additional cream as needed to get the desired texture for frosting or piping.
- Use to decorate cakes and cupcakes.
