- Prep: 35 min
- Cook: 15 min
- Yield: 10 pastries
Ingredients
1 8-ounce package cream cheese
1 large egg
1 tablespoon sugar
Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
3/4 cup guava paste
1 14-ounce package frozen empanada wrappers, thawed
Vegetable oil, for frying
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Directions
- Pulse the cream cheese, egg, sugar, lime zest and lime juice in a food processor until smooth.
- Put 1 tablespoon guava paste in the center of each empanada wrapper, then top with 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges with a fork to seal.
- Heat about 11/2 inches vegetable oil in a wide saucepan until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the empanadas until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. (Return the oil to 350 degrees F between batches.) Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
