Berries Galette

I love making simple desserts for the Fourth of July.

I make a simple blueberry marmalade to spread on the bottom of a store-bought puff pastry sheet and then add all my favorite berries on top. Bake it all together, serve with ice cream (of course!) and there you have an amazingly flaky, sweet and tart dessert that can be served at any temperature.

INGREDIENTS

MARMALADE:

• 200g = 7oz blueberries
• 30g = 1oz sugar
• 1 lemon peel

GALETTE

• 1 Puff pastry sheet (245g or 8.8oz)
• 2 cups mixed berries
• 2 T sugar
• 1 egg
• Ice cream to serve with

MARMALADE

  • To make the marmalade, simply add the three ingredients in a small pot and heat to a simmer.
  • Cook until most of the water has evaporated and becomes a spreadable consistency.
  • Make sure to stir once in a while and be careful the heat is not too strong as it might stick to the bottom of the pot.
  • Let cool completely and discard the lemon peel.​

GALETTE

  • The first thing you need to do is to make enough space in your fridge to fit the sheet tray you will use to bake the galette. Otherwise enough to fit a large plate (you can transfer the galette from the plate to the sheet tray once is cold again)
  • Add one tablespoon of sugar to your table or countertop and place the puff pastry sheet over it. Gently roll it a little bit to stretch it out just slightly.
  • Sprinkle the other tablespoon of sugar on the top and roll gently again just to make sure the sugar sticks to the dough.
  • Place a round plate, cake or tart mold that can fit in the middle of the dough on the top and trace or cut around it. It doesn’t have to be perfect, you can even eyeball it.
  • Spread enough marmalade to cover the top of the dough, leaving just about 1” or 2cm of dough from the edge.
  • Spread your favorite berries over the marmalade. Try placing them in a “pretty” way for a beautiful presentation.
  • Transfer the galette to the sheet tray or plate and place in the fridge for 30 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  • If the galette was on the plate, transfer it to the baking sheet tray and bake it for ….

Let it cool slightly and serve together with the ice cream of your choice. Enjoy and Happy Fourth of July!
