METHOD:
For the Guava-Cream Cheese Ice Cream:
In a pot, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, guava puree, egg yolks, granulated sugar, salt and vanilla. Whisk constantly until it reaches 180F. Strain through a chinoise onto an ice bath. Spin ice cream base in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s instructions. Separately, mix the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Once the ice cream base is spun, place into containers and swirl in the cream cheese mix. Store in the freezer until ready to scoop.
For the Whipped Topping:
Whip cream cheese and powdered sugar. Line a pastry bag with a stripe of the guava paste, fill the rest of the bag with the whipped cream.
