[@arielgonzalez8158]

Since you mentioned Argentina in this video.... these pastelitos are very similar to "Pastelitos de Membrillo" which are very common here in my country. The membrillo is a pear/apple-shaped fruit that you can eat directly from the tree but it is hard and taste like nooooothing but when it is transformed into for example jam, you actually want to eat it by the spoonful

[@andreffrosa]

In portugal we have that too.

[@leilafialho8056]

in Brazil we have a similar version of these pastelitos that have the same name (pastelzinhos), the main differences are we don't use puff pastry and we actually deep fry them, but we keep the same filling, my favourite btw

[@justrayne7]

I have looked for a handful of different recipes and always come back to this one. The extra additions to the cream cheese definitely a level up on flavor. The only thing I do different is I'm combined this with another recipe where when they come out of the oven you brush them with a simple syrup made of equal parts sugar and water. And then because I'm extra I sprinkle sparkling sugar over the top so it has a glossy crunchy sugar coat. I get these requested all the time when I do potlucks

[@dhanson890]

Hi. I really enjoy your channel. I am Brazilian and guava paste is a very popular dessert served with cheese. But, there is always a but, cheaper guava paste has chayote (Sechium edule), xuxu in Portuguese, mixed into it. The lighter and sort of transparent it looks, the more chayote mixed in and the blander the flavor. Good guava paste is dark red and totally opaque. Even better if it has chunks of the outer layer of the fruit mixed in - the one you used seemed to have the chunks, but was very transparent. Keep on the great work though.

Because I love guava, I bought one of those cans of guava paste. I didn't know what I was going to do with it but up here in midstate New York, we don't get a lot of guava products. Whenever I got off the plane in Hawaii, I'd go to the hotel, unpack and I wouldn't head for the beach, I'd head to the grocery store for 100% guava juice! ANYway, a few years after buying this paste it was reaching the end of its expiration date so I just opened it and tried it ... I think with crackers and cream cheese. Ugh, you're right. On its own ... not so good. Can't wait to try this!
