👨🍳 Instrucciones

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. You can use a piping bag or spoon to fill the pastries.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
On a lightly floured surface, unfold one sheet of puff pastry. Cut into 8 equal rectangles (or 12 smaller squares). Repeat with the second sheet.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Place half of the pastry pieces onto the prepared baking sheet. Spoon or pipe a small amount of the cream cheese mixture onto each piece, leaving a small border. Top with a slice or cube of guava paste.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Don't overfill the pastries, as the filling can leak out during baking. - 5
Top each filled pastry with another piece of puff pastry. Press the edges firmly to seal. Cut small slits on the top of each pastry to allow steam to escape.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative seal. - 6
Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar, if desired. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes - 7
Let cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: These are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
