Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 190°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2Remove the 2 sheets of dairy-free puff pastry from their packaging and lay them flat on a clean surface. Allow them to thaw at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or until they are soft enough to unfold without cracking. Once thawed, unroll each of the 2 sheets of puff pastry and cut each sheet into 9 squares, for a total of 18 squares.
3. 3Cut the about 225 g of guava paste into 1.27 cm cubes. Measure out the about 113 g of dairy-free cream cheese.
4. 4Place one 1.27 cm cube of the about 225 g of guava paste and approximately 1 teaspoon of the about 113 g of dairy-free cream cheese in the center of each of the 18 pastry squares. Fold each pastry square diagonally to form a triangle, then gently press the edges together with your fingers and crimp them firmly with a fork to seal.
5. 5Arrange the assembled pastry puffs on the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2.54 cm of space between each one. Brush the tops of all the pastry puffs with the 2 tbsp of dairy-free milk.
6. 6Bake the pastry puffs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown in color. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pastry puffs cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before serving.
