Time 45m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 cups granulated sugar
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 lb cream cheese, room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle 1½ cups (300 G) sugar onto a clean surface, about 5 inches larger all around than the sheet of puff pastry.
  • Place the puff pastry over the sugar and sprinkle the remaining 1½ cups (300 G) sugar on top.
  • Gently press the sugar into the dough, then use a rolling pin to roll out the pastry to a 24 x 14-inch rectangle.
  • Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into 9 equal squares.
  • Add the cream cheese to a piping bag fitted with a ¾-inch round tip.
  • Pipe the cream cheese diagonally onto the center of each pastry square.
  • Bring one corner of the dough diagonally over the cream cheese to meet the opposite corner, then roll up into a log. Divide the pastelitos between the prepared baking sheets, making sure the seams are on the bottom so the pastelitos do not unroll during baking.
  • Bake the pastelitos for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and transfer to a plate to cool completely before serving.
  • Enjoy!
