- 8. Variation: Cultural Explosion: For my Cream Cheese and Guava filling, take a four ounce package of cream cheese the small one, leave out to soften, then add 1/4 cup powdered sugar and blend in well. The cheese should be very soft to spread easily Spread this cream cheese on the dough, then take guava marmalade (Conchita, Ancel or Goya are brands I buy in the Latin food markets) Guava marmalade comes in a can. Take a large tablespoon and put a few spoonfulls of the marmalade over the cream cheese and spred all over the cream cheese. Then roll jelly roll fashion. Pinch edges or fold under so spread wont come out. Follow the recipe above and bake. Delicious.
