#### Egg Wash:
#### Sugar Topping:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Cut the guava paste and cream cheese into six 1 oz rectangular pieces each and set aside.
- To make the egg wash, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Defrost the puff pastry according to package instructions. Roll out the puff pastry slightly and cut it into 12 even squares or rectangles.
- Brush the entire border of 6 pieces of puff pastry with the egg wash. Place a piece of cream cheese on each base, and top with a piece of guava paste.
- Place the remaining 6 squares on top and gently press along the edges where the egg wash is to seal.
- Brush each sealed pastelito with egg wash and sprinkle with half a tablespoon of sugar.
