Pear and Berry Crostada with Almond Cream

This crostada has the most delicious flakey crust, and it's so easy to make, the main ingredient being butter.. of course, but it's so worth it! The crust is also made with whole wheat, being healthier, and adding more flavor. It is then rolled out, filled with a nice almond cream, topped with pear eighths, fresh strawberries and blueberries tossed in vanilla extract, sugar in the raw, cinnamon and ginger. The crust is then folded over some of the fruit brushed with heavy cream and sprinkled with sugar in the raw, making it nice and crispy after it has been baked. Perfect with a scoop of vanilla bean icecream.. no nice and light on a spring day.
