Description

This rustic and charming blueberry galette is the easiest way to enjoy a fresh, flaky dessert with minimal fuss. Made with a pre-made pie crust and bursting with juicy blueberries, lemon zest, and a hint of citrus juice, this open-faced tart is brushed with cream and sprinkled with sugar for a golden, sweet finish. Perfect for a quick summer dessert, it bakes in under an hour and pairs beautifully with ice cream or whipped cream.


Ingredients

For the Galette:

  • 1 pre-made pie crust
  • 2.5 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1.5 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

For the Topping:

  • 3 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside for later.
  2. Prepare the blueberry filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries with lemon zest, lemon juice, corn starch, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly without crushing them.
  3. Assemble the galette: Roll out the pre-made pie crust on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon the blueberry mixture into the center of the crust, leaving a 1 to 1.5-inch border all around.
  4. Fold the crust edges: Carefully fold the edges of the crust up and over the blueberries, overlapping the folds as you go. Handle the dough gently to avoid cracks or breakage.
  5. Add the topping: Brush the folded crust edges with heavy cream or milk to help the crust brown nicely. Then sprinkle the crust with the remaining 1 tbsp of granulated sugar for added sweetness and crunch.
  6. Bake: Place the galette in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbly and juicy.
  7. Serve: Remove the galette from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, no need to thaw but you may need to bake a few minutes longer.
  • If you prefer a sweeter filling, increase the sugar to 1/3 cup.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with almond milk or coconut milk.
  • Make sure to handle the dough gently when folding to avoid tears.
  • Serve immediately or store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
