Guava Cheese Pastries (Dairy-Free)

Ingredients

• 8 ounces Guava Paste
• 4 ounces Coconut Cream Cheese
• 1 package Puff Pastry
• 2 tablespoons Coconut Milk
• 2 tablespoons Turbinado Sugar

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. 2In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 8 ounces of guava paste and the 4 ounces of coconut cream cheese. Stir thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
3. 3Unfold the 1 package of puff pastry onto a clean, flat surface or a piece of parchment paper. Using a sharp knife or pastry wheel, cut the pastry into 9 squares, each approximately 3x3 inches.
4. 4Place a spoonful (about 1 tablespoon) of the guava cheese filling in the center of each of the 9 pastry squares.
5. 5Carefully fold one corner of each pastry square over the filling to meet the opposite corner, forming a triangle. Gently press the edges together with your fingers, then use the tines of a fork to crimp and seal all three edges of each pastry.
6. 6Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Carefully transfer the 9 sealed pastries to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each pastry.
7. 7In a small bowl, whisk the 2 tablespoons of coconut milk. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top surface of each pastry with the coconut milk. Evenly sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of turbinado sugar over the tops of all the pastries.
8. 8Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The pastries are done when they appear puffed up and are golden brown in color.
