How to Make Strawberry Amaretto Pastries

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Unfold one sheet (14.1 oz) of refrigerated puff pastry onto a large baking stone or baking sheet.
  3. Coarsely grate 1/2 cup of sliced almonds.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the grated almonds with 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the almond-sugar mixture over the puff pastry.
  6. Gently press the almond mixture into the pastry dough.
  7. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough lengthwise into three equal strips.
  8. Cut each strip crosswise into four squares, resulting in a total of 12 squares.
  9. Arrange the pastry squares evenly spaced on the prepared baking stone.
  10. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Lightly toast 1/2 cup sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Then, coarsely chop and set aside.
  13. Zest one orange using a microplane or fine grater.
  14. In a small bowl, combine the orange zest with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Set aside.
  15. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
  16. Gently fold in 1 cup whipped topping.
  17. Slice 1 pint of fresh strawberries.
  18. Carefully split each cooled pastry square in half horizontally.
  19. Arrange half of the sliced strawberries into the bottom of each pastry shell.
  20. Top each with about 2 heaping tablespoons of the prepared filling and sprinkle with the chopped toasted almonds.
  21. Top with the remaining sliced strawberries and sprinkle with the sugared orange zest.
  22. Place the tops of the pastry shells over the filling.
  23. Serve immediately and enjoy!
