Instructions
Making the Raspberry Almond Puff Pastry Danish is straightforward with these clear steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases.
3. Cut into Squares: Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares (about 5 inches each).
4. Create Filling: In a bowl, mix together almond paste, sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
5. Assemble Pastries: Place a tablespoon of almond filling in the center of each pastry square. Top it with a few raspberries.
6. Fold Corners: Bring the corners of the square toward the center, pinching them to seal the filling inside.
7. Brush with Egg Wash: Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the pastries for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes.
10. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar and slivered almonds for an extra touch of elegance.
