Instructions
- In a small pot, mix the guava paste with the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and let cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The paste will be partially melted. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let cool.
- In a electric mixer, whip the cream cheese or mascarpone a bit at low speed. Add the partially melted guava paste and beat until well combined. Add the guava shells and mix well by hand. Reserve.

- Cover with remaining bread, pressing down gently to seal the edges. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, coconut milk, condensed milk, spices, salt, and vanilla extract until well blended, and pour on top of the bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least for 4 hours.
