Ingredients
- 1 pack Gluten-free puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams Guava paste
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Take the gluten-free puff pastry out of the fridge and allow it to thaw slightly, making it easier to handle.
Step 3
In a small bowl, cut the guava paste into small cubes about 1-inch in size. Set aside.
Step 4
In another bowl, soften the cream cheese by stirring with a spatula or spoon until it becomes creamy.
Step 5
Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out to ensure even thickness.
Step 6
Cut the pastry sheet into 6 equal rectangles.
Step 7
On one half of each rectangle, spread about 1 tablespoon of the softened cream cheese, leaving a margin around the edges.
Step 8
Place 2-3 cubes of guava paste on top of the cream cheese on each rectangle.
Step 9
Fold the pastry over the filling, crimping the edges with a fork to seal.
Step 10
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Step 11
Brush the tops of each pastry with egg wash, which will give them a nice golden color.
Step 12
Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.
Step 13
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Step 14
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
Step 15
Dust the pastries with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Step 16
Enjoy your gluten-free guava pastries warm or at room temperature!
