Recipe Box, Fruit Pastries with Almond Cream
My friend Jodi tempted me with her Peach Puff Tartlettes last week
I had the peaches and puff pastry, but sadly no almonds…hmmm…
I did have almond paste, do you ever use it? It has magical powers 🎩
Mixed with sugar and softened butter it makes a Umami type paste that can be used as a pastry filling or paired with fruit
We are enjoying the last of peach season right now, but this recipe would be wonderful with apples, plums, nectarines, pears
Cut a piece of thawed puff pastry into 12 squares, place on a parchment lined baking sheet and score a small border with a sharp knife
Divide almond paste mixture between each square and spread to the cut lines with the back of a spoon or pat with fingers
Top with diced peaches
Bake at 400 for 15 minutes
Cool
Drizzle with an almond cream
These pastries can be breakfast, dessert or an anytime treat
I prefer almond emulsion over almond extract, it has a smoother taste, but you can use almond or vanilla extract
Fruit Pastries with Almond Cream
Ingredients
Pastries
- 1 puff pastry sheet
- 1 large peach*
- 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
Almond Spread
- 3 oz almond paste

Almond Cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp almond emulsion
- 3-4 Tablespoons milk or cream
Instructions
- Cut pastry into 12 squares. Score edges about 1/4″ inside to help keep filling in place.
- Make almond spread by mashing almond paste with sugar and butter until it’s well combined. .
- Divide evenly between squares in the center. Smooth with fingers or the back of a spoon to spread into an even layer inside the scored edges
- Make Almond Cream by mixing powdered sugar with almond emulsion, adding cream until it is thin enough to drizzle, but still thick enough to stay in place.
- Dice peaches and Sprinkle with brown sugar. Place on top of almond spread. Bake at 400 15 minutes.
- Let squares cool, then drizzle with Almond Cream
Notes
I love the ease and versatility of this recipe, plus the mini pastries are just enough to satisfy without being too guilty…it’s a keeper!
Remember you can make these with apples, pears or any stone fruit

Jenna, I can just taste this peach tart with my bold coffee this morning. I guess I will just eat my coconut Lara bar. I must try this with apples! Happy Wednesday!
Jenna I am salivating!!
Winner, winner, almond dinner! 😀
Dangit I wish I had some peaches because this would be the PERFECT morning for these and some very strong coffee!!! LOVE cool mornings like this.
Honestly Jenna, I don’t know if I’d rather eat this or stare at it! I know the pastries have to be delicious but they look so pretty on the plate. Clever use of the almond paste. No, I hardly ever use it but now I wonder why I haven’t.
Enjoy your day……….
Thanks Emily, These were a big hit with everybody last weekend >
Delicious Jenna! Perfectly portioned for a sweet bite and the fruit of the season too!
As we segue into fall, I’m getting ready for things like this! Yum.
Don’t know if you are in the path of the hurricane but thinking good thoughts for your safety.
Thanks Jeanie, we are nervous, and prepared to leave if we have to~ >
Jenna, This looks so delicious! I’m not sure how I would be able to stop at just one! Hope you are in a safe place and that the brunt of Irma won’t affect your beautiful spot on the water. Linda
Thanks Linda, we were extremely concerned yesterday, but things are looking better for us today, but poor Florida and the Carolinas… >
Jenna,
These Fruit Pastries are amazing and I will be trying these very soon! I really appreciate you sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday and hope you are having a safe and enjoyable weekend.
Come Back Soon!
