Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

Cut the pastry into squares, about 4x4 inches in size.

In a bowl, mix guava paste and cream cheese until smooth.

Add sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the mixture and combine well.

Place a spoonful of the guava mixture in the center of each pastry square.

Fold the pastry over to form a triangle and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

Beat an egg and brush the egg wash over each pastry for a golden finish.

Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
