Guava Duff
Bahamian guava-filled dough served in slices with a creamy butter-rum sauce.
About Guava Duff
Guava duff is a nostalgic Bahamian dessert of soft rolled dough and guava. This profile follows pastry chef Ivana Moncur's complete milk-based dough with its own butter-rum sauce.
Guava brings fragrant tropical sweetness, while butter, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and dark rum make the sauce rich and creamy. A little salt keeps the dessert balanced.
The duff is a compact spiral log with pieces of guava winding through a pale, tender crumb. Slices are soft and slightly dense beneath a smooth, guava-speckled sauce.
