1 hour total (Active 20 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry
  • 16 oz guava paste
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Parchment paper
  • ½ cup egg substitute, divided

Steps

    1. Set puff pastry out to thaw. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut guava paste into pieces. Place guava paste, lemon juice, and water in medium saucepan on medium. Cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until blended. Remove from heat.
    2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Unfold puff pastry sheets and cut each into 9 equal squares (18 squares total). Arrange 9 pastry squares on baking sheet; brush edges with ¼ cup egg substitute, then spoon about 2 tablespoons guava mixture onto each. Top with remaining 9 pastry squares, pressing edges to crimp. Brush tops of pastries with remaining ¼ cup egg substitute, then cut 3 slits in top of each pastry to vent.
    3. Bake 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F. Bake 18–20 more minutes until golden. Let stand to cool 5 minutes before serving.
