This Puerto Rican inspired pastry is traditionally made with guava paste (pasta de guayaba) and is super simple. They are typically called Pastelillos de Guayaba or Pastelitos de Guayaba. I usually make the traditional version. Today, I tried it with strawberry preserves that I already had in the pantry. It turned out SO good!
This puff pastry recipe is perfect as a dessert, snack or even for breakfast with coffee. This recipe tastes amazing, looks great and nobody even has to know how simple it was to make. As an additional note, this recipe makes nine pastries, however, that also depends on your preference of size. You can certainly cut your puff pastry into smaller pieces for a larger group. I really hope you try this one. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 (17oz) Sheets of Puff Pastry
1 to 1 1/2 Cups Strawberry Preserves
Powdered Sugar to top or coat (about a cup depending on preference)
Directions:
-Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper (this helps avoid the pastries from sticking directly to the pan).
-Remove thawed puff pastry from package (if using frozen – thaw at room temperature for about 40 minutes).
-Roll out puff pastry sheet on floured surface or parchment paper.
-Cut into desired number of pieces. I essentially made a 3×3 grid for nine pieces. Be sure to cut both sheets the same size.
-Spoon desired amount (about one to two tablespoons) of strawberry preserves onto each piece.
-Top each piece with the additional pastry piece and press down around the edges with your fingers.
-Bake for 15 minutes until light golden brown.
-Remove from oven and set aside for 10 minutes.
-For the powdered sugar, you can add about a cup of powdered sugar to a bowl. Then, toss the puff pastry in the powdered sugar to coat.
The other option is to lightly dust each pastry with powdered sugar from a mesh strainer.
-Enjoy!
