Ingredients
- 1 pound cream cheese
- 1 pound butter, softened
- 1 pound flour
- 1 1/2 pounds guava paste
- Sugar, for sprinkling
Directions
Blend the cream cheese, butter and flour until well mixed. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch thick square. Cut the rolled dough into 16 to 20 squares.
A little off center of each square, place 1 tablespoon guava paste. Fold the dough over the guava paste, forming a triangle. Press the edges shut. Place the pasteles onto a cookie sheet and sprinkle them with a thin layer of sugar.
Bake until the pasteles are evenly browned, about 25 minutes.

I thought this would be a traditional recipe. Take warning. If you are looking for a traditional Puerto Rican Patelito de Guayaba, this is soooo not it.

I buy the Puff Pastry Sheets at the grocery store to save time and I fill them with the guava, guava & cheese and meat filling. We truly missed these since we moved from Miami.....my entire family swears they taste even better than the Cuban bakery ones and they are ecstatic they can have these treats whenever they crave them! =
