I has so so many of these come up on my Instagram news feed that I couldn't contain my excitement any longer. I had to give them a go and taste what I had been drooling over the past couple of days.
They are actually quiet simple to my surprise! I've never really been a big fan of making your own pastry as I never thought I would be good at it. In all honesty... It's a breeze and if I could put something together than so can you.
I used peaches are these were the fruits I had on hand but I did have leftover pastry in which I made some with mixed berries.. which my Nonna seemed to enjoy!
Served warm and topped off with delicious vanilla ice cream there's really no complaining here. They were gone in a day.
