Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cups coconut flour
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 0.25 cups granulated erythritol
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 oz guava paste
- 0.25 tsp sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, and sea salt together. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, cream cheese, and granulated erythritol until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be soft yet firm enough to roll.
Lightly flour a flat surface with some almond flour and roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Cut the rolled dough into 3-inch squares.
Cut the guava paste into small strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide and 3 inches long.
Place a strip of guava paste onto each square of dough.
Fold each square in half to create a triangle, then use a fork to seal the edges by pressing them down.
Transfer the triangles onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low carb guava pastries!
