Drain the can of fruit. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/gas mark 4. Place the puff pastry sheet on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Arrange the fruit slices or halves, rounded side down (if applicable) in a fan shape spaced out on the pastry. If using fruit halves (like pears, peaches, or apricots), do not fully separate the top part so the halves stay together.
Cut the puff pastry about 1cm (½in) around the fruit to mimic its shape and fold over the edges slightly. Cut out leaf shapes from the leftover pastry and score with a knife to decorate.
Add the leaves to the fruit puffs and egg wash the pastry. Sprinkle flaked almonds around the edges of the pastry.
Bake for 20 minutes, until golden and crisp. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm with ice cream.
