    What are Tarts?

    Tarts are baked dishes with a pastry base. Then the pastry base is filled with a filling. The tops of tarts are not covered by pastry like a pie would be. The pastry is usually a shortbread, pie, graham or cookie style crust. The filling is usually filled with chocolate, fruit, or other types of filling. 

    What is Guava?

    Guava is a tropical fruit. It is likened to tasting like a cross between a strawberry and a pear. It is sour when it’s unripe and sweet when ripe. An unripe guava is hard and ripe guavas are softer. You pick a guava similar to picking an avocado. 

    Ingredients

    This recipe calls for just a few simple ingredients: guava paste, cream cheese and pie pastry.

    • Guava Paste: Guava paste has many uses but is often paired with cheese. It can also be used in pastry puffs, or with meat like pork tenderloins. Guava paste can be purchased at your local Hispanic market or online.
