Instructions
In a mixing bowl add in your softened cream cheese and whisk until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla. It will be thick. Add in the milk 1 tbsp at a time until smooth and creamy. Finish with salt.
Preheat your oven to 375. In a small saucepan add the guava pieces and water. Stir with a spatula until the paste melts and liquifies. About 5 minutes. set aside to cool.
Roll out your pie crusts on a floured surface and cut each one roughly into a 11x15 rectangle. Lay one crust down on a parchment lined sheet pan. Spread the guava jelly leaving a 1 inch border. Brush the edges with egg wash. Lay the other crust on top and crimp with a fork. Brush the top with egg wash and poke a few holes on top. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Allow the pop tart to cool before pouring the icing on top. Finish with candy hearts or sprinkles. Cut a slice and enjoy.
Notes
You can use any filling with this recipe. Strawberry or raspberry jam are also delicious.
Guava paste is very thick. Cutting it into slices speeds up the melting down process. Stir continuously.
The candy hearts are totally optional and fun. I usually opt for rainbow sprinkles when i'm not feeling festive.
