Strawberry Amaretto Pastries

This is a Pampered Chef recipe, and a favorite of (big) Kristen's.

Strawberry Amaretto Pastries
1/2 pkg frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
1/2 c. sliced almonds, divided
1 tbsp. sugar
1 c. sour cream
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1 1/2 c. cool whip
12 large strawberries, sliced
1 orange

Preheat oven to 400. Unfold pastry & cut into 12 squares. Chop 1/2 of almonds and combine with sugar. Sprinkle pastries & press into. Bake 16-18 min. or until puffed and golden brown. Toast remaining almonds and chop. Whisk sour cream, powdered sugar & almond extract together. Fold in whipped topping. Split open each pastry. Arrange 1/2 of strawberries into bottom of each shell. Top with 2 tbsp of filling & sprinkle with almonds. Zest orange over almonds and top with remaining strawberries & top of pastry.

*strawberries can be substituted with peaches or nectarines.
