Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls

3 kiwi, peeled and sliced

1 can (11 ounces) mandarin orange segments, drained and patted dry

2 Tbsp lime juice

1 tsp lime zest, finely snipped

1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup sliced almonds, roasted, cooled, then finely chopped

Powdered sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 375ºF

Lightly sprinkle counter with flour

Unroll crescent dough, pinch seams to seal

Lightly sprinkle dough with flour

Roll out dough evenly

Transfer dough to baking sheet

Prick dough

Bake 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown

Remove from oven; cool 10 minutes

Carefully remove pastry from pan to cooling rack; cool completely

Using a pizza cutter, cut pastry crosswise into six rows and lengthwise into four rows to make twenty-four 2 1/2-inch squares

Place one kiwi slice and one orange segment onto each pastry square

In a bowl, combine whipped topping, powdered sugar, lime zest and lime juice; mix until smooth and slightly thickened.

Put a dollop of whipped lime mixture onto the center of each pastry square.

Sprinkle finely chopped almonds over whipped lime mixture

Lightly sprinkle with powdered sugar

Place one pastry square on top of another, pressing down lightly

Repeat with remaining pastry squares

Serve immediately

Cook's Notes:

The pastry squares can be served as 24 single dessert canapés, if desired.

Toasting almonds makes them more flavorful. To toast almonds, preheat oven to 350ºF. Spread almonds onto baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown; cool completely.
