If you love sweet Almond flavor, these 10 Almond Desserts are for you. From soft cookies and buttery pound cake to flaky croissants, kringles, and even chocolate treats.
Almond has always felt like one of those flavors that quietly makes everything better. It’s subtle and somehow turns even the simplest dessert into something special. Just swapping almond extract instead of vanilla is a small change that makes desserts feel bakery-worthy!
I love almond desserts so much I created a delicious Almond Coffee Cake Blondie that is exclusive to my cookbook. Snag a copy (print or digital) today!
Almond Dessert Tips and Tricks
Almond Extract- always remember a little goes a long way. Unlike adding vanilla, I prefer to measure almond extract to avoid over-doing it.
Complimentary Flavors- Truly endless. Chocolate of course pairs well with almond, but also berries, vanilla, and citrus too!
Don’t Skip Texture- Sliced or slivered almonds add a nice crunch that balances well in cakes and cookies!
Use Quality Ingredients- Because almond flavor is delicate, using high-quality extract or real almonds makes a difference. And always use REAL butter.
