Pineapple Quesito Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut cream cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices; place cut side-down on a board and cut into logs.
• Place 1 cup sugar into a small bowl; place cream cheese logs into sugar and roll to coat. Set aside.
• Cut each puff pastry sheet evenly into 3 to 4 squares, no bigger than 5 to 6 inches each. Place 1 square in front of you with 1 corner pointing down. Place 1 sugar-covered cheese log about 1/3 up from the bottom corner; proceed to fold pastry around it in the same manner as an egg roll, with the bottom corner over cheese, side corners towards the center, then roll from bottom, up. Brush some water in the last corner to seal roll.
• Place quesito on the prepared pan, seam-side down. Repeat with all squares, making sure there is at least 1-inch between them.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Brush tops with corn syrup.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk sweetened condensed milk and eggs together in a bowl; add milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons syrup from canned pineapple, and rum and stir well.
• Pour remaining syrup from canned pineapple into a saucepan and cook over medium heat until bubbling and syrup darkens, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and pour syrup into a custard dish and tilt to completely cover the bottom. Arrange pineapple slices in the syrup and pour milk mixture over pineapple.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
