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