Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 3 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin orange segments, drained and patted dry
  • 2 large limes
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, finely chopped
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly sprinkle Stoneware Bar Pan with flour.
  2. Unroll crescent dough across length of pan; pinch seams to seal. Lightly sprinkle dough with flour. Using Baker’s Roller™, roll dough evenly to cover bottom of pan. Prick dough using pastry tool. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from oven; cool 10 minutes on Stackable Cooling Rack. Carefully remove pastry from pan to cooling rack; cool completely.
  3. Transfer pastry to smooth side of Large Grooved Cutting Board. Using Pizza Cutter, cut pastry crosswise into six rows and lengthwise into four rows to make twenty-four 2 1/2 inch squares. Slice kiwi using Egg Slicer Plus®. Place one kiwi slice and one orange segment onto each pastry square using Bamboo Tongs.
  4. Using Lemon Zester/Scorer, zest one lime to measure 1 teaspoon zest. Finely snip zest using Kitchen Shears. Juice limes using Juicer to measure 2 tablespoons juice. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine whipped topping, powdered sugar, lime zest and juice; mix until smooth and slightly thickened using Classic Scraper. Attach open star tip to Easy Accent® Decorator; completely fill with lime mixture. Pipe a 1 1/2-inch rosette onto center of each pastry square, refilling decorator as needed.
  5. Finely chop almonds using Food Chopper; sprinkle over rosettes. Lightly sprinkle with powdered sugar using Flour/Sugar Shaker. Place one pastry square on top of another using Mini-Serving Spatula, pressing down lightly. Repeat with remaining pastry squares. Place on Simple Additions™ Large Platter; serve immediately.

Notes

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