These Strawberry Amaretto Pastries and light pillows filled with sweet, succulent strawberries. Pure heaven.
These Strawberry Amaretto Pastries combine two of my favorite flavors — strawberry and almond.
I can’t wait for the strawberry season this year. There is nothing like fresh strawberries still warm from the vine just bursting with flavor. I’m planning on picking a whole bunch so I can make lots of strawberry jam.
I’ll also be making these heavenly pastries. They are so elegant and delicious and a great alternative to strawberry shortcake.

This recipe looks incredibly decadent and fancy, yet it’s remarkably easy to make. There are toasted almonds baked into the light and puffy pastries and a light wisp of almond flavoring in the cream. It goes so nicely with the sweet berries.
This dish is simple enough to make and is impressive enough to serve guests!
