All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 (1/2-pound) sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 cup spreadable cream cheese
4 ounces guava paste from 1 (1-pound) package, thinly sliced
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Preheat a Belgian waffle iron according to manufacturer directions. Lightly dust a work surface. Lay out puff pastry sheet, lightly flour top, and roll into an approximate 16- by 16-inch square. Spread cream cheese on puff pastry, leaving a 1 inch border on all edges. Evenly space guava paste slices on top of cream cheese.
Roll puff pastry sheet away from you like a jelly roll. When completely rolled, pinch seam to seal. Pinch ends of puff pastry to seal, then coil into a disk-shaped spiral. Place spiral in center of preheated waffle iron. Cook until puff pastry is deep golden brown on all surfaces and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 200°F, about 12 minutes.
Transfer to a cutting board, cut into wedges, dust with powdered sugar, and serve immediately.
