Ingredients

One pie crust (store bought or homemade)

21 ounces container of Goya (or other brand) guava paste

1 1/2 cups brioche bread crumbs

Preheat oven to the temperature recommended for your pie dough.

Roll pie crust into a 9-inch pie or cake pan.

Prick the bottom of the crust, all over, with a fork.

Bake according to the recommendation for your pie dough.

Allow to cool before filling.

Toast bread crumbs in a pan on high heat for 3 -5 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in sugar.

Allow to cool.

Sprinkle about ½ breadcrumbs onto the bottom of the crust and press lightly.

In a saucepan, combine creamer and guava paste.

Using an immersion blender or by batches (a third at a time) into a regular blender, thoroughly combine the creamer and guava paste.

When cool to room temperature, pour into cooled piecrust, top with remaining breadcrumbs.

Refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hours, until set.

Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped topping, if desired.
