Peach Pastries with Almond Cream
Peaches are one of Mother Nature’s delicious summer gifts
Sadly peach season is short-lived…
BUT!
did you know you can freeze peaches to enjoy year round?
Read about an easy method
from Food Network’s The Kitchen here
and enjoy fresh peaches year round
These puff pastry delights can be enjoyed for breakfast,
brunch, afternoon tea, and topped with a little ice cream for dessert
Do you ever use almond paste, 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
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 your fingers
Top with sliced or diced peaches
Bake at 400 for 15 minutes
Cool
Drizzle with almond cream
I prefer almond emulsion over almond extract,
it has a smoother taste,
but you can use almond or vanilla extract

That looks wonderful, Jenna. It could be a lovely dessert or a breakfast treat — win-win!
Thanks Jeanie!
I’ve been enjoying peaches and yogurt for breakfast but your pastries sound so much better.
Thanks Karen, a few more calories but worth the splurge!
Love the combo of almond paste with peaches Jenna! We look forward to peach season every summer. Our friends drive down to McLeod Farms in South Carolina and bring back peaches every summer to share. I always vacuum seal a couple of bags to enjoy throughout the year. 🍑 Happy Sunday. 🧡
Peaches and almonds are such a delicious combo!
Great recipe! And “seein’ as how I’m a true GEORGIA PEACH” I love this post. The recipe sounds wonderful, but since I am trying to be a weight watcher I think I shall just stick to art and trying to reproduce your beautiful peach art rendition. Don’t worry I will not let Georgia down. I will eat my share of peaches–I’ll just take them straight for now. Love to you and yours this Sunday–Shelia, Georgia Peach.
haha, yes, you are definitely a Georgia peach!
What a wonderful treat! I would have this for breakfast or for dessert. Yum!
