Raspberry Almond Puff Pastry

This recipe is inspired by almond cream-filled croissants, but with a delicious fruity variation. The raspberry almond puff pastry can actually be made with any other fruit of your choice, but the tart flavor of raspberries perfectly complements the sweetness of the almond paste and the crispiness of the puff pastry. I hope you love it as much as I do.
