A delicious and aromatic dessert made with guava and cardamom.
Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter cold, unsalted, cut into small pieces
- 3-4 tablespoons ice water
- For the Filling:
- 4-5 guavas ripe, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together.
- Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cornstarch, cardamom, and vanilla extract for the filling. Spread this mixture evenly over the center of the dough, leaving a border of about 2 inches.
- Arrange the sliced guavas on top of the sugar mixture. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary.
- Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake the galette for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

I followed the recipe but my dough was too crumbly. What did I do wrong? 😩
I’m sorry to hear that! It sounds like you might not have added enough ice water. Try adding a little more next time, just a tablespoon at a time! 😊
I dunno, but mine was crumbly too! Maybe the butter was too warm or somethin? 😕
Why use guava? Can’t you just use apples? Seems easier. 🤔
Guava gives it a unique flavor that apples just can’t match. You should try it! 😊
Why not use apples? Guava is just weird. Makes no sense to me. 🤷♂️
My galette came out looking like a pancake… what gives? I think I mixed it too much.
yum – delish! Cardamom and guava is a killer combo
Guavas ain’t my favorite fruit, but this galette is pretty good! Who knew? Probably could use more sugar tho.
I agree, guava galette is surprisingly nice! Maybe more sugar would really bring it to life. 😋
So simple yet sooo tasty. This is my go-to recipe now. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
I’m so glad you love it! It’s really easy to make, right? 😊
Great flavors, but it took me way longer than 50 minutes to bake. Maybe my oven is different? 🕒
Easiest recipe ever. I’m not a cook, but my family thought I was a pro! lol
This turned out amazing! The guavas were so sweet and the cardamom added the perfect spice! 🌟
Looks good but guavas are not easily available everywhere. It’s gonna be hard to replicate this. 😕
I can’t wait to try this! 🎉 Guavas and cardamom sound like a fantastic combo!
