I have never been a really big fan of the classic Pop-Tarts. To me, they taste like the unnatural-sounding ingredients that they contain. Of course, a jam-filled pastry is a great idea, but like so many things, it's more fun to make it yourself.
This idea comes from a really neat blog. I followed this pie crust recipe, and added my favorite fillings. That obviously meant blueberry jelly, but I also tried something a bit more exotic.
On a recent trip to Puerto Rico, I sampled some awesome pastries that contained guava paste and cream cheese. So when I saw guava paste at the store there, I jumped on it. These cream cheese and guava pastries are replicated here in my pop-tarts.
No matter the filling, these were delicious. You could try dulce de leche, or really anything else. Making the crust was hard; I used a wine bottle as a rolling pin. But you could have put one of these into a toaster, and they looked fabulous.
