Ingredients

🥫 2 cans condensed milk, approximately 395g each
🥛 2 boxes heavy cream, total 400g
🍫 90g white chocolate, chopped
🍯 1 tablespoon corn syrup, optional for improved texture
🧀 300g Philadelphia cream cheese
🧀 1 cup, 150g, Camponesa fresh cheese, chopped, optional
🍈 350g guava paste, chopped
💧 1 cup, 120ml, water
🧀 Parmesan cheese, grated for crisps

Instructions

1- Prepare the Cream Base:

• In a non-stick pan, combine 2 cans of condensed milk, 2 boxes of heavy cream, and 90g of chopped white chocolate.
• Optionally add 1 tablespoon of corn syrup for added shine and texture.
• Stir and cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. It should resemble a point just before "brigadeiro".
• Remove from heat to prevent burning and transfer to a glass bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until completely cold.

2- Create the Cheese Cream:

• Once the cream base is chilled, move it to a stand mixer bowl with a whisk attachment.
• Beat for about 2 minutes until aerated.
• Add 300g of cream cheese and continue to beat for 3 additional minutes until smooth and fluffy.
• Optionally, add 1 cup of diced fresh cheese and mix briefly to incorporate.
• Spread the cheese cream in a glass serving dish and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours for it to set.

3- Make the Guava Paste Topping:

• Combine 350g guava paste and 1 cup of water in a pot.
• Cook on low, stirring until the paste melts into a smooth sauce.
• Cool until lukewarm.

4- Assemble and Garnish:

• Spoon the lukewarm guava sauce over the firm cheese cream, spreading evenly.
• Grate fresh cheese as a garnish around the edges.
• For Parmesan crisps, spread grated Parmesan in a non-stick pan, cook until golden, cool, and use as an optional garnish.
