I'm always craving these, because I usually eat them in Puerto rico (but i live in NY). The only difference is that we usually have powered sugar on top. I decided to give your recipe a try and it was EVERYTHING!!!! So so easy and super delicious. Thank you!
The comment section is full of us who grew up in Miami/South Florida lol. I moved to PA and remember eating these a lot at the Cuban Bakeries, can't find them anywhere here so thank you so much for this recipe! *update*: I just made them and they turned out awesomee thought I added too much filling and it would explode cause I triple to mine, but nope :D ty!
You have made so many cuban dishes that I crave on the daily. As a college student away from my mother I needed to learn these dishes to survive! lol You are magical!
Making puff pastry is such a pain in the butt, frozen is always the way to go... for me, anyway. We'll be going to Florida this summer, let's hope I can find them at a good Cuban bakery.
@Maggie Melbourne I assume by original you meant homemade. One of the reasons it’s a pain is because it’s time consuming. In addition to that you have to make sure your kitchen is cool or it will take even longer because you have to put it in the fridge more often (after each fold instead of every other fold). After making my own I went back to buying it. I believe Pepperidge Farm was used in the video which is good but if you can get all butter puff pastry the result will be even better.
ohhh "M" G!!! So glad to find this easy version of these pastelitos!! growing up on S. Bch., I came adore these!! Nothing gives the cure to my homesickness like guava and cheese w a strong shot of cuban coffee!Thanks for sharing!! definitely trying this!!
I love them, I lived in Miami for 15 years and fell in love with Cuban cusine, I don't think that I spelled that right lol anyway now I know how too make them, Thank you Julie 😁
I just made these using 1 sheet for the triangles (6). I also added a pinch of sugar to the cream cheese to cut down on the tartness. Let me tell you, “They came out amazing! Thanks so much for sharing 👏🏽👏🏽
OMG...I'm originally from Miami and I can tell you this is the most popular pastry in the Cuban bakeries. I've been eating those since I were a little girl. I wish I this video was posted while I was pregnant. I was craving these badly.... we don't have any Cuban bakeries in my city. I will be trying these soon. Thanks for the videos.
Just finished making them, they came out delicious!!! My Cuban boss taught me to wrap them, I did it about twice, but first time making them at home. Thank you for the instructions !!!
went to miami for art basel this year and fell in love with these!! just made them at home in the midwest using your recipe and they came out perfect.thank you so much!
Just made these for friends and family! I used the store bought puff pastry and the Goya guava paste. So good! These will be a weekend breakfast staple in our house!
Your voice is so soothing haha I'm in south florida & not trying to spend $2 on a single guava cheese pastry ANY MORE! especially when Im buying for a large family. Your method, so you get filling every bite & also the sugar syrup glaze makes for a perfect tutorial. Thanks!
I love these! I make them too. I just never did the end part when u brush them with the sugar water, I will try that. Also, I put just a little more guava and cheese in mine for more filling.
mari maldonado wow I hope u do open that Cuban restaurant because I will definitely be one of your customers. I love Cuban food. Good luck ps I live in Texas too 😉
Checking in with you, Mari. Any updates on the restaurant? I live just north of Dallas and there is a shortage of Cuban deliciousness. I moved here from Miami in 2014 and I miss my food (second only to family and friends)!!! There's a cuban bakery (read: one) in the metroplex and it's quite good, but at $12 for 4 pastelitos, it's a special occasion kind of splurge. Let me know if you open the restaurant, I've got customers for you! Y te prendo una velita for them winning lottery numbers for you. Thank you for the recipe, Julie, these look amazing and I can't wait to make them tomorrow for an ugly sweater party. Time to make these Texan ladies pastelito addicts. I mean fans.
Julie those looked really good. anything with cream cheese is good.you kept saying how bad they looked just keep your pretty hands next to them an there awesome and the pastries too....where can I get the Guava that you had Thanks.
Thank you for this video. Here in Northern California there are no bakeries that make these. In Southern California those lucky Angelenos have Portos Bakery which make these, but still not as good as the Miami Cuban bakeries. When in Miami my favorite Cuban bakery is Plaza Bakery. I will be going to Plaza Bakery the first week of April 2020. I will try your recipe, gracias.
Te acabo d encontrar y me han encantado tus recetas q a mi tambièn me fascina la guayaba aunque las haces en inglès no importa, saludos desde California chula👌😘😘
Moved from Miami to NY a few years ago and you can never find pastelitos here! They say NYC has every kind of food, but not these! Great recipe, these came out just like my favorite bakery! I suppose to get the square shaped style I can just stack 2 sheets of puff pastry and slice them after baking? I'll have to try that next.
I grew up in NYC and that's where I had them. I use to get them at the bodegas. It would usualy be in plastic cylinder on top of the counter where you pay. Not every bodega had them tho
I live in south Florida and believe me. Everytime im near a Cuban cafe, i stop and get a pastelito. Sometimes even gas stations have some delicious guava cheese pastelitos
my fav you made them so easily when you live in miami you dont have to learn how to coock any of these but now i have no other choice lol thanks for your video !!!
I almost almost didn't watch the video because i thought it would be too hard but then i noticed the length of video and said it can't be that hard lol anyway such a easy fantastic idea can't wait to try because i love them as well :)
Watching this at 8 month pregnant. Have a crazy craving for these now I got my husband running around to look for guava before they enforce a mandated quarantine
Love those , unfortunatly I dont know what is the Guava and I don't think they sell where I live. I think I'll try it with Apple as one suggested. Thanks Julie I love your videos.
Those look yummy even if I haven't had guava before! I love puff pastry! I wish they would come out with gluten free! TFS this great recipe with all of us Julie & have a great week! :)
I’m from California and we love this place called Porto’s, yeah it’s a Cuban style bakery in L.A. they sell those “panecillos de guayaba con queso “my family loves them but we have to drive 4 hour to get them.
These look amazing, and I have some leftover puff pastry from when I made those Pastelitos de Carne... I'm going to make these for breakfast tomorrow for sure. I have some apple filling too, so I think I'll try a few with that as well. :)
I'll have to try making these. Being from Puerto Rico I've eaten a lot of Pastelitos de Guayaba and lots of "Quesitos". I don't know if they usually eat guava and cheese together but I personally never have, but hey, I love both, why not right? :) Do you have any videos on your favorite kitchen tools?
Desde hace años intento esta receta. Pero no en inglés. Me interesa la de pastelitos de guayaba como los que se venden en las calles cubanas. Son crocantes y deliciosos. Nunca supe como se elaboran. Si alguien tiene la receta. agradezco la información

I'm 🇺🇸 & I started to ❤ 🇨🇺 Guava Pastries 😋
