      Fry at 175°C (350°F) for 1-1.5 minutes a side until golden. Drain and cool.

    4. 4

      Beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla and put in a piping bag.

    5. 5

      Melt the guava paste with the water until smooth, then whisk in the powdered sugar for the glaze.

    6. 6

      Brown the butter, then toss with the graham crumbs, walnuts, brown sugar and salt. Cool.

    7. 7
