Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle 1½ cups (300 G) sugar onto a clean surface, about 5 inches larger all around than the sheet of puff pastry.
- Place the puff pastry over the sugar and sprinkle the remaining 1½ cups (300 G) sugar on top.
- Gently press the sugar into the dough, then use a rolling pin to roll out the pastry to a 24 x 14-inch rectangle.
- Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into 9 equal squares.
- Add the cream cheese to a piping bag fitted with a ¾-inch round tip.
- Pipe the cream cheese diagonally onto the center of each pastry square.
- Bring one corner of the dough diagonally over the cream cheese to meet the opposite corner, then roll up into a log. Divide the pastelitos between the prepared baking sheets, making sure the seams are on the bottom so the pastelitos do not unroll during baking.
- Bake the pastelitos for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and transfer to a plate to cool completely before serving.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Set out your puff pastry, and cream cheese about half hour before preparing. After cream cheese has set out for a while. Put cream cheese in a bowl and beat with hand mixer until creamy add the 1/4 cup sugar and continue to mix until all the sugar is well incorporated. Set aside.
- 2. Now preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper set aside. Now take one sheet of the puff pastry. Put some flour on your flat surface and with a rolling pin roll the pastry a little each way to make a large rectangle. With a sharp knife cut the pastry in three equal strips and then cut across three times. Making nine equal squares.
- 3. Now open you goya guava paste package it will be a large block of paste. Unwrap the cellophane and with a sharp knife cut small slices. They will be about 2 1/2 inches long and 1/4 inch in thicknes. Cut 18 slices.
- 4. Now take one square of the puff pastry; spread 1 teaspoonsful of cream cheese in the middle; lay a slice of guava paste across the cheese and fold over one edge. With a the times of a fork crimp the edge all around. Sprinkle with white sugar; lay on the parchment lined cookie sheet do all your dough squares like this. I put eight on each sheet. Put into the oven and bake for 15/18 minutes. Check them at 15 minutes; if they are golden pull them out. Your guava paste will kind of seep out; no problem the ones sold at the bakeries are the same way. I also make little squares from the puff pastry and add 1 teaspoonful of cream cheese. I roll the square instead of folding them over. Sprinkle with sugar and put into the oven for 15/18 minutes. Bake until golden. Enjoy

PASTELILLOS DE GUAYABA (GUAVA CHEESE PASTRIES)
Panaderías in Puerto Rico are magical. Their brightly lit glass cases are lined with fresh-baked bread and rich pastries, begging you to order too many. As a child, I clamored for pastelillos (also called pastelitos) de guayaba. The pastries typically have a flaky crust and are filled with a generous smear of concentrated guava paste - an embodiment of tropical Caribbean flavor - and often with cheese, served glazed or dusted with powdered sugar. In East Harlem, or El Barrio, New York's historic Puerto Rican enclave where I lived for some time, I discovered Valencia Bakery on East 103rd Street, which made a bite-size version with a generous amount of confectioners' sugar, creating a portal between the island and my new home. My recipe is inspired by theirs. These are excellent with coffee, and will keep for several days, benefiting from a reheat in the oven.

Steps:
- Set out puff pastry to thaw for 40 minutes at room temperature.
- Once pastry is thawed, line a 12-by-17-inch baking sheet with 2 pieces of parchment paper. (The double layer helps to protect your pan when you're cutting the puff pastry.) Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Prepare your egg wash by whisking egg and milk together. Keep it handy.
- Lay one layer of puff pastry on top of parchment paper on the baking sheet. Make a 4-by-4 grid of guava stacked with cheese, spaced evenly, leaving about 1 inch of space in between. Top with the second puff pastry sheet.
- Using a pizza cutter, slice the puff pastry into 16 equal pieces, touching the top lightly to determine where to slice. It's OK if you don't do a perfect job; these are especially good when the guava spills out and caramelizes along the edges. (And don't worry too much about getting the cut exact, or pieces being odd sizes. It gives them character.)
- Working quickly, use a fork to crimp all four edges twice on each side, then arrange them evenly on the baking sheet, leaving space between each. Brush the tops and edges lightly with the prepared egg wash and place baking sheet in the center of the oven.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until pastelillos are beautifully golden brown, flaky and puffy.
- Out of the oven, let pastelillos rest for at least 10 minutes before eating. (Guava is molten hot and will burn your mouth, badly.)
- Once they've cooled, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar to taste. They can be eaten warm or at room temperature, and will keep for several days in an airtight container. Heat leftovers in the oven for 5 minutes at 350 degrees to bring back their crispness.
