Ingredients

  • 4 cups guava puree (can substitute guava nectar)
  • ¼ cup agave syrup (can substitute simple syrup or honey)
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Make sure your ice cream maker insert is frozen.
  • Pour the guava puree, lime juice, agave syrup, and cream into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and place the mixture into the fridge to chill for at least 3 hours, more if possible.
  • Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 25-30 minutes. Transfer the mixture into a sealable container and freeze for a minimum of 2 hours. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don't forget to freeze your ice cream maker at least a day before making your gelato.
  • For the best results, allow the gelato to freeze overnight (if you can wait that long!).
  • Lemon juice can be used as a substitute for lime juice. Just make sure it is freshly squeezed citrus juice!
