Instructions
Preheat Your Oven
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roll Out the Dough
- Dust your work surface with powdered sugar and roll out the puff pastry to prevent sticking.
Cut and Fill the Pastry
- Slice the puff pastry into 12 evenly sized squares.
- On six of the squares, place a slice of guava paste and a dollop of cream cheese in the center. Feel free to adjust the quantities to match your personal preference.
- Brush the edges with an egg wash to help seal the pastry.
Top and Seal
- Take the remaining six squares and score them with a few light cuts.
- Place them on top of the filled squares and press the edges with a fork to seal.
Add Final Touches
- Brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a golden, crunchy finish.
Bake to Perfection
- Bake the pastries for 20–25 minutes, or until they’re puffed up and beautifully golden.
Cool and Enjoy
- Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving. This ensures the filling sets and prevents burns.
