Description

A staple at Cuban bakeries, guava pastries (aka pastelitos) are often enjoyed with a sweet cup of café con leche. Inside the buttery, flaky pastry hides guava paste (tangy and tropical) and a luscious cream cheese filling, which beautifully complements the fruit's sharpness. The pastry dough can be made up to 2 days in advance, which makes for quick assembly when you're ready to fill and bake.
