Gluten-Free Berry Galette
This loose and easy dessert is easy to modify. Add some sliced rhubarb for a delicious play on sweet and sour or use any combination of in-season fruit.
Ingredients
- 1 recipe Sweet Pastry Crust Dough chilled (see below)
- 1 pint strawberries sliced
- ½ pint blackberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla paste or gluten-free vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cream optional
- 1 tablespoon crystal AA sugar (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the pastry crust dough between two pieces of plastic wrap and roll it out to an 11-inch disk, about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the top piece of plastic wrap. Lift dough on the remaining piece of wrap and invert it onto the center of a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Peel off and discard the remaining piece of wrap.
-
Toss together the strawberries, blackberries, ¼ cup sugar, and vanilla and let macerate for 15 minutes. Strain the fruit of excess juice.
-
Place the fruit in the center of the tart. Fold the dough edges over toward the center of the tart, overlapping a bit of the fruit. If desired, brush the edges with cream and sprinkle with crystal sugar. Bake immediately for 15 minutes, rotate and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, until the edges are golden and the fruit juices start to run. Cool slightly, remove from the parchment paper, and finish cooling on a rack. Serve at room temperature.

Hi! I haven’t made this yet but wonder if anyone has tried to veganize the Sweet Pastry Crush to see which egg substitute would work. I’m happy to experiment w/ alternatives myself and will report back if no one else does 😀 The rest of the recipe is fully vegan-friendly, even with the optional cream– sub with coconut cream!
