    Servings 4 servings
    Calories 556 kcal

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 package of frozen puff pastry thawed
    • 1 egg lightly beaten
    • 2 tablespoons sugar for garnish
    • 4 oz guava paste sliced
    • 4 oz white or mozarella cheese sliced
    • 4 oz dulce de leche

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
    • Flour a clean, dry counter top or other flat working surface. Lay out the puff pasty on the floured surface. Flour the top of the dough. Roll out the puff pastry until it is half as thick (about ⅛-inch).
    • Using a large cookie cutter, cut into 24 circles and brush the edges of each circle with the egg. A little off center of each circle, place 1 slice of guava paste, 1 slice of cheese and about ½ tablespoon dulce de leche. Place another circle on top to enclose the filling.
    • Crimp the edges with a fork. Repeat with the remaining pasteles, placing them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet as you go. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.
    • Sprinkle with the sugar on top, then cool the pasteles on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Today I would like to introduce one of my favorite traditional Colombian desserts. Which, conveniently, is also ridiculously easy to make. I have no idea how Pastel Gloria got its name, but it is a popular dessert in my country. It is essentially a puff pastry filled with dulce de leche, guava paste and cheese. What's not to like here?

    Buen provecho!

      I've never tasted guava before but you can't go wrong with puff pastry. It sounds good.

      What a lovely cheese pastry. I love your use of guava. We are going to plant some guavas in our yard this summer. I can't wait to make a guava jam. Thank you for introducing me to a wonderful Colombian dessert.

      I have always assumed guava is a kind of fruit which we eat fresh on its own. I have never came across this kind of guava paste. Looks delicious with the pastry.

      Btw, thanks for visiting my blog:D Cheers!

      This sweet sounds wonderful by the way. I always buy guava paste at the store. It is really popular here in Florida. I might have to try this...

      I'd like to think I'd make this, but I know that whenever I get my hands on dulce de leche, it always gets devoured straight from the jar with a spoon 😀 That stuff is liquid gold! Maybe one day I'll resist temptation and make this, though...

      Is it possible to prep the pastries and then freeze/refrigerate them to bake later?
      BTW: I am making the popsicle recipes this weekend!

      These were fantastic. I prepped the the day before and refrigerated them, which was no problem. They came out perfectly. Don't each any guava pastries straight from the oven! The sugar content makes them way too hot to eat.

      Also works great with long rolls. Take a typical puff pastry box of two sheets pre-folded in threes, cut into the six sections and roll out to 1/8 inch thickness, and make three long rolls.

      I have a Columbian ESL student. For our end-of-the-year class, I invited him and his family to dinner. These pastries were the #1 hit.
      I used many of the recipes on this site for the meal I served. There were very few things that weren't a delight to them.

      Thank you so much!

      These look so good! Do you brush the pastry with egg before baking? Do you sprinkle the sugar on the pastry before baking? The image shows it on before baking but the instructions say after. I am making these tonight and I don’t want to mess them up!

      Bake at 400 oF at least!! Better to have the pastries in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before going into the hot oven.
