Why you will love this recipe

Raspberries and almonds create a wonderful taste experiences. Almonds add a subtle nutty flavor and a crunchy texture. Raspberries add a tart, yet slightly sweet taste. The combination of these two ingredients makes for a well-rounded flavor. Add in flaky puff pastry and you have the perfect dessert.

These hand-held pastries are a treat after a casual meal, added to a brunch dessert buffet or as an 'anytime snack.'

Ingredients

The following ingredients are needed to make the raspberry almond puff pastry twists:

ingredients needed for raspberry almond dessert twists
  • Puff pastry: store-bought or homemade puff pastry my be used. Puff pastry sheets are found in the dessert section of the freezer aisle. Check out my quick puff pastry recipe if you are feeling adventurous and want to make your own.
  • Almonds: use toasted, sliced almonds
  • Raspberry jam or preserves: you only need a few tablespoons for this recipe.
  • Raw sugar: just a bit of sugar is sprinkled over the pastry prior to baking. You may replace the raw sugar with granulated sugar.
  • An egg: lightly whip an egg and apply to the puff pastry prior to forming the twist and, once again, prior to baking. The egg will help the pastry hold together.

See recipe card for quantities.

Top tip

You may be tempted to add more raspberry preserves. I advise against this. Adding more preserves will simply leak out during the baking process. The raspberry flavor will still shine through in this dessert in the amount I have listed (2 tablespoons).

Certainly. Check out my recipe for a quick puff pastry.

How do I store the raspberry almond puff pastry twists?

These pastries are best served the day they are made. Place in an airtight container after the twists cool. Store at room temperature - or serve while still warm!

    I've made these several times now, and they always come out perfect and delicious. I especially like the unique design. There's more to bite into than just regular twists. I drizzle them with a vanilla icing .Thank you so much for a great recipe!

    I just love the flavors of almond and raspberry in baked goods! This recipe is so much easier to make than it looks, and I like how you can use the store bought puff pastry as a shortcut. One day when I'm feeling adventurous, I may just try the homemade puff pastry!
