Lively Lemon-Guava Dessert Squares

This light and flavourful low fat dessert does not require any baking and features our guava sauce. It can be frozen and then thawed in the refrigerator before serving. Be sure to note the variations at the bottom of the recipe.

Ingredients:

Crust: 1-1/2 cups chocolate or graham cracker cookie crumbs
           1/4 cup melted butter

           16 ounces evaporated milk, chilled in the fridge

Reserve 1/4 cup crumbs for topping. Combine remaining crumbs with butter and press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan.

Dissolve jelly powder in boiling water and chill in freezer until cool to touch. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whip evaporated milk until soft peaks form. Stir in sugar, guava sauce and cooled jelly mixture, mixing until thoroughly combined.

Refrigerate until set (at least 2 hours). Cut into squares to serve.
