This fruity galette is a delicious and relatively easy dessert to make. It serves at least 6 people and topped with a scoop of ice cream it's a standout dessert for a dinner party or special meal.

Galettes have all the flavor of a traditional pie but are much more forgiving to make. You don't have to be as finicky with the dough and fit it into a pie plate - it's much more free form!

Even though this recipe takes two and a half hours to make, it isn't all hands-on time. In fact, most of it is spent on chilling the dough and baking the galette.

Tips for Making this Recipe

Preparation Tips - Making the dough in a food processor is super quick, but be careful not to overwork it and blend it for long periods of time. Use the pulse button if that's an option on your machine. 

Seasonal Ingredients - You can use fresh or frozen berries for this recipe. Blackberries and blueberries are in season from May through September. If you are making this out of season, I'd recommend using frozen berries.

Alternative Tools - If you don't have a food processor, there are notes in the recipe card for making it with a pastry cutter.
