Thaw out the puff pastry.
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the guava paste (pasta de guayaba) into slices. About a tablespoon to a tablespoon and a half each slice.
Lay one puff pastry (two puff pastry sheets come to a box) on a cutting board or baking sheet and top with guava paste. Three guava pieces across and three guava pieces down in columns.
Top with the other puff pastry sheet.
Cut the puff pastry into 9 equal squares.
Place individual squares on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until beautifully golden, flaky and puffy.
Transfer pastelillos to a wire rack to cool. Once they have cooled sprinkle confectioners sugar on top.
