Guava Duff

About

The Bahamas' most beloved dessert — a steamed or boiled roll of sweet dough wrapped around a filling of guava paste and spices, then sliced and served warm with a rich, buttery rum sauce drizzled over the top. Guava duff has been a Bahamian celebration dessert for generations — appearing at family gatherings, church events, and local restaurants across the islands. The combination of tropical guava and warm spiced rum sauce is unforgettable.
