Ingredients
2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent dough sheets
8 ounces guava paste
2 tablespoons water
8 ounces La Morenita Oaxaca Queso cheese, pulled into strands
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon coarse sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Microwave guava paste with water for 30 seconds and stir until smooth and spreadable
Unroll crescent dough sheets onto the baking sheet, pressing them together end to end to form a long candy cane shape
Spread guava down the center of the dough, then layer La Morenita Oaxaca Queso cheese strands on top
Cut 1-inch diagonal strips along both sides of the filling.
Fold the strips over the filling, alternating sides, to create a braided candy cane pattern
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar
Bake 18–20 minutes until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes, then pull apart and serve
