Equipment

  • 8Ă—8 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • saucepan
  • Silicone spatula or wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Microwave-safe bowl (for softening guava paste, optional)
  • Sharp knife (for slicing)

Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Guava Cheesecake Fudge

  • 12 oz white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup guava paste or thick guava jam softened
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Make the Crust

  • Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides.
  • In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly combined.
  • Press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form an even crust.
  • Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the fudge.

Make the Guava Cheesecake Fudge

  • In a saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
  • Stir constantly until melted and smooth.
  • Add cream cheese, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until fully incorporated and creamy.
  • Remove from heat.

Assemble

  • Spoon half of the fudge mixture over the chilled crust and smooth evenly.
  • Warm the guava paste slightly (microwave 10–15 seconds) until spreadable.
  • Drop spoonfuls of guava over the fudge and swirl gently with a knife.
  • Pour remaining fudge on top and smooth. Add more guava swirls if desired.

Chill

  • Refrigerate for 3–4 hours, or until fully set.
  • Lift out using parchment paper and cut into squares.

Notes

  • Soften the guava: Warm guava paste just enough to make it spreadable—overheating can thin it too much.
  • Low heat is key: Melt the fudge mixture gently to avoid scorching the white chocolate.
  • Cream cheese texture: Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth, lump-free fudge.
  • Swirl gently: Use a light hand when swirling the guava to keep defined ribbons of fruit.
  • Chilling time: Let the fudge set completely before slicing for clean, neat squares.
  • Storage tip: Keep the fudge refrigerated and bring to room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
