• guava nectar
• red food coloring
• cream cheese
• butter
• vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 16 cupcake cups with paper liners.
2. 2 Cut guava paste into medium squares and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Whisk until melted down but still slightly chunky, about the consistency of jelly (heat more if necessary).
3. 3 Beat brown sugar, butter, and eggs together with a mixer in a large bowl until creamy. Add flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt; stir until halfway mixed. Pour in guava nectar and mix until everything is fully incorporated. Fold in heated guava paste until evenly distributed. Mix in red food coloring.
4. 4 Fill each prepared cupcake cup evenly with batter.

6. 6 While the cupcakes are cooling, blend cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and red food coloring. Mix on low speed until fully blended. Chill for 10 to 15 minutes. Frost cooled cupcakes.

Ingredients

• ✓ guava paste
• egg
• sugar
• water
• lime zest
• vanilla extract
• self-rising flour
• powdered sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan.
2. 2 Break eggs into a small mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in sugar gradually. Add water, lime zest, and vanilla extract and blend well. Beat in flour gradually until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan.
3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and loosen the edges with a sharp knife. Turn out immediately onto a tea towel sprinkled with powdered sugar.
4. 4 Cut guava paste into chunks and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until spreadable. Be careful, it will get hot because of the high sugar content.
5. 5 Trim any stiff edges off of the cake and spread guava over. Roll up carefully in jelly roll fashion from the narrow end, using the towel to ease the cake over. Let cool in the towel on a wire rack for about 30 minutes.
6. 6 Remove the towel carefully and sprinkle additional powdered sugar over the top if desired. Slice to serve.

Ingredients

• ✓ guava paste
• vegetable shortening
• butter
• sugar
• egg
• egg yolk
• vanilla extract
• almond extract
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets.
2. 2 Beat shortening and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Mix in egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and almond extract.
3. 3 Add flour, 1 cup at a time, until completely mixed; the dough should be stiff and able to hold its shape when formed into a ball. If this consistency is not achieved, add a little more flour.
4. 4 Make 1-inch balls of dough and place 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Use your finger to make small indentations in the middle of each cookie; fill each with a cube of guava paste.
5. 5 Bake in batches in the preheated oven until light golden on the bottom, about 15 minutes, switching racks halfway through; do not overcook. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ingredients

• ✓ guava paste
• milk
• egg
• butter
• all-purpose flour
• sugar
• icing sugar
• salt
• instant yeast
• egg
• granulated sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Heat milk in the microwave or on the stovetop to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C).
2. 2 Place warm milk, egg, butter, flour, white sugar, icing sugar, salt, and yeast in a bread machine in the order listed. Run Dough cycle. Remove dough from the machine after the cycle is done, about 90 minutes.
3. 3 Divide the dough into 4 or 5 equal parts depending on the size of the roscones you want to make. Take one piece of dough and roll it into a roll about 1/2 inch wide. Repeat with remaining dough. Flatten the rolls and fill evenly with guava paste.
4. 4 Roll the dough once again so the filling is in the middle and not seen from the outside. Take both ends and paste them together, forming a circle with a hole in the middle (like a doughnut). Place in an oiled baking pan, leaving room to grow. With a sharp, non-serrated knife, make some slits on the top just deep enough that you can see a bit of the filling.
5. 5 Once all your roscones are done, cover and let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
6. 6 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
7. 7 Brush beaten eggs over each roscone and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
