Graham Cracker Crust

A classic, buttery crust that forms the perfect base for this cheesecake.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  
• 1/3 cup sugar
  
• 6 Tbsp melted butter

Instructions:

Crush one full sleeve of graham crackers using a food processor or place them in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. The food processor is quicker and easier!

Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until combined. The mixture should resemble damp sand.

Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-10-inch springform pan.

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 7 minutes, then let it cool while you prepare the next layer.

Cream Cheese Layer

This rich and creamy layer balances out the sweetness of the guava topping.

Ingredients:

• One 8 oz block of cream cheese, softened
  
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (divided)
  
• 1 pint heavy whipping cream

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese and 1/4 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it starts to firm up. Add the remaining 1/4 cup powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully combined.

Pour the cream cheese mixture onto the cooled graham cracker crust and spread evenly.

Place in the refrigerator while preparing the guava topping.

Guava Layer

A fruity, vibrant topping that makes this cheesecake truly Hawaiian!

Ingredients:

• 1 pouch of Guava Puree (1 lb)
  
• 1 cup sugar
  
• Juice from ½ a lime

Instructions:

Pour the guava puree into a small pot. Add sugar and lime juice, stirring to combine.

Adjust sweetness to taste.

Cook on low heat until the sugar dissolves completely. If you prefer a brighter red guava layer, add a drop or two of red food coloring (optional).

Let the guava mixture cool, then pour it over the chilled cream cheese layer.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set.

Tips for the Best Guava Cheesecake

• Use Quality Guava Puree: We recommend Hawaiian-grown guava puree for the best tropical flavor.
  
• Let It Set Properly: Chilling for a full 2 hours will help the layers hold together when sliced.
  
• Garnish for Extra Aloha: Top with fresh whipped cream, mint leaves, or sliced tropical fruits for a stunning presentation.
