For an extra layer of richness, consider adding a dollop of clotted cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream before serving. Feel free to experiment with different nuts and dried fruits to customize the flavor profile to your liking. Walnuts, pecans, dried cranberries, or dates would all be delicious additions. If you don't have puff pastry on hand, you can substitute with croissants or brioche bread. Watch carefully under the broiler to prevent burning.

Aug 26, 2024I used croissants instead of puff pastry and it was still fantastic. A great way to use up leftover croissants.
