What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

- 2Remove all hard seeds from the guava core to avoid unpleasant gritty bites.
- 3Whisk the yogurt just until smooth; over-whisking can make it thin and watery.
- 4Swirl honey in ribbons rather than fully mixing for pockets of sweetness in every spoonful.
- 5Chill the serving bowls for 5 minutes before assembly to keep the yogurt cool and refreshing.
- 6Assemble just before serving to prevent guava juices from making the yogurt watery.
