Apricot Clouds

Apricots are a stone fruit delicacy that possess a distinctive sweet yet tart taste that is often described as a cross between a peach & a plum.  These French pastries contain bright nuggets of dried apricots nestled in a velvety vanilla pastry cream.  The cookie-like dough is grated over the top to create a crunchy exterior.  Finished with a dusting of powdered sugar & adorned with an almond flower, these pastries are an irresistible summer treat!
