Pastelitos de Guayaba + Queso! Cuban pastries made with puff pastry and filled with guava paste and cream cheese. Just 4 ingredients! You and your family will fall in love with these easy-to-make sweet, tart guava cheese turnovers.

Pastelitos de Guayaba + Queso (Guava Cheese Pastries!)

puff pastry sheets ((I used Pepperidge Farm))

guava paste ((I like the Conchita brand))

cream cheese** (optional (the block over the spreadable kind))

egg** (whisked)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.&nbsp;Thaw the puff pastry according to package directions, usually about 20-30 minutes.&nbsp;Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Cut guava into thin slices. If using cream cheese, cut the block into slices too. Unfold one of the pastry sheets and place it on the cookie sheet.

Place 6 slices of guava per pastry sheet fold about 1-2 inches apart (you'll have 18 slices total on the entire pastry sheet). Add cream cheese over guava paste slices (optional).

Unfold the second pastry sheet and place it over the other one that now has the guava paste slices.

Cut into 9 squares and score the tops of each one. No need to divide the squares. Leave everything intact. Brush egg wash on each one to get that flaky crust.

Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy!

How to Make Guava Pastries Recipe - My Big Fat Cuban Family

Pastelitos de carne are the perfect Cuban savory-sweet pastry filled with beef picadillo, baked, then brushed with simple syrup.

Pastelitos de Carne (Cuban Beef Pastries)

sugar

water

Cuban Beef Picadillo (cooked)

egg (whisked)

Make the simple syrup. In a small saucepan, stir granulated sugar and water together. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Set aside.

Thaw the puff pastry according to package directions, usually about 20-30 minutes. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Unfold both pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 9 circles using the rim of a glass cup or a biscuit cutter.  

Place a tablespoon of the picadillo filling in the center of each dough circle. Cover with another dough circle on top.

Gently seal the edges of the dough circles together using a fork or by pressing down with your fingers. Brush egg wash on each pastry to get that flaky crust.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the pastries from the oven and lightly brush the pastries with simple syrup. Serve immediately and enjoy!
