Mmm Recipes: Puerto Rican Quesitos Recipe mcubed
- 1 puff pastry sheet package (specifically, 1 sheet)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 Tbs sugar (more or less, to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla (more or less, to taste)
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup (more or less, to taste)
- Egg white of 1 egg
- Mix together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- On average I use more than one teaspoon of vanilla.
- Vanilla can be very overpowering, so approach with caution.
- Increase by 1/2 teaspoon until desired taste is met.
- Cut pastry sheet into 3 x 2 rectangles.
- Place about 1 tsp.
- cheese mixture in the middle.
- Grab one edge and pull into the center of rectangle.
- Pinch tip into the middle of the sheet.
- Grab the edge across from it and wrap around towards the end across from it.
- Pinch at the bottom.
- Brush with egg whites and roll in sugar.
- The sugar is to taste, but ideally a quesito has a nice sugary crust that crunches when one takes a bite.
- Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees until golden.
- Remove from oven and brush with a moderate amount of light corn syrup over each one.
- Let cool for 10 minutes and ta-da...Time to bust out the milk!
