Rollo de Guayaba

Ingredients

Guava paste

8 ounces, sliced into thin strips

Cream cheese

8 ounces, softened

Powdered sugar

1/2 cup

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Begin by slicing the guava paste into thin, even strips, making sure they are wide enough to roll.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it is smooth and creamy.
3. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing well to combine until the mixture is fluffy and sweet.
4. Stir in the vanilla extract, blending until fully incorporated.
5. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each guava paste strip, ensuring even coverage.
6. Carefully roll up each guava paste strip with the cream cheese filling inside, starting from one end and rolling tightly.
7. Once all strips are rolled, place them seam-side down on a plate or tray.
8. Chill the rolls in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow them to firm up and the flavors to meld.
9. After chilling, remove from the refrigerator and slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces.
10. Serve chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or fresh fruit if desired.
