This is truly a refreshing dessert! The prep time noted is just an estimate. It is best if chilled for at least a few hours or even overnight but it can be hard to wait that long. I know I couldn't! Come enjoy the flavor of the islands!

Step 2

FILLING: In a bowl combine cream cheese, 4 T. guava concentrate (thawed) and sifted confectioners sugar.
