Instructions

1. Stir the melted butter, sugar, eggs, both extracts, almond flour and citrus zest together until smooth; if runny, add up to 1/4 cup more almond flour.
2. Unfold the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and spread half the frangipane over each, in a thin even layer with a small border.
3. Fold each sheet in half like a book to enclose the filling.
4. Cut each folded sheet into strips about 2 cm wide, then wrap each strip around your fingers to form a swirl.
5. Set the swirls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush the tops with heavy cream, press a cherry or berry into the center of each and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
6. Freeze for 10–15 minutes (optional). Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
7. Bake for 20–25 minutes until puffed, golden and cooked through.
8. Cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar.
