Guava Cream Cheese Pancakes topped with Cream Cheese Buttercream

You can find guava nectar and guava paste at your local supermarket in the hispanic aisle. Also if you follow a vegan diet you can totally replace the cream cheese for a vegan spread and the eggs for egg replacement.

For the guava sauce:

• Pay attention and stir frequently to avoid the liquid to solidify.
• Follow the instructions carefully to avoid getting burned.
• You can double the sauce recipe and store the leftovers inside a mason jar and use it as a spread on future recipes.

Here’s the recipe:
