Description

This Easy Peach Galette is a rustic, free-form tart featuring a flaky buttery crust filled with juicy peach slices and fresh blueberries. With a simple dough made from cold butter, cream, and cream cheese, the galette offers a tender base layered with almond flour and a sweet, thickened fruit filling. It’s perfect for showcasing summer peaches in a casual but elegant dessert that requires no special tart pan or molds.

Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 190 g All purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • ⅕ teaspoon Baking powder
  • 10 g Granulated sugar
  • 115 g Unsalted butter (very cold, cut into chunks)
  • 15 g Heavy Cream
  • 30 g Cream cheese

For the Filling

  • 380 g Peach (cut into slices)
  • 30 g Blueberry
  • 30 g Granulated sugar
  • 10 g Corn starch
  • 2 tablespoon Almond flour (to sprinkle under the fruit filling)

For the Finishing

  • 1/2 Egg (beaten with a drop of water for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
  2. Add Butter: Incorporate the very cold butter chunks by rubbing the mixture between your hands until it resembles coarse sand with some larger butter pieces remaining. This texture will help create a flaky crust.
  3. Combine Cream and Cream Cheese: Add the heavy cream and cream cheese to the flour and butter mixture, mixing gently with your hands just until the dough starts to come together.
  4. Knead Dough: Using the palm of your hand, knead the dough for about one minute until smooth, being careful not to overwork it to preserve flakiness. Avoid using a mixer.
  5. Chill Dough: Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight to relax the gluten and firm up the butter for handling.
  6. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, gently mix sliced peaches, blueberries, granulated sugar, and corn starch until the fruit is evenly coated, which will help thicken the filling as it bakes.
  7. Roll Out Dough: Once chilled, roll the dough out on a sheet of baking paper to your desired thickness. Sprinkle almond flour over the surface where the filling will sit to absorb excess moisture.
  8. Assemble Galette: Arrange the peach filling in the center of the dough, then scatter blueberries around the edges. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a rustic border, pressing lightly to secure.
  9. Chill Before Baking: Place the assembled galette in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up the dough, while preheating your oven to 200°C (392°F).
  10. Bake: Brush the crust edges with the egg wash to enhance browning. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling, indicating it is cooked through.

Notes

  • Use very cold butter to achieve a flaky crust texture.
  • Do not over-knead the dough to keep it tender.
  • Chilling the dough and assembled galette helps the crust maintain shape during baking.
  • Almond flour under the fruit filling prevents sogginess by absorbing excess juice.
  • Check the fruit for ripeness to ensure natural sweetness; adjust sugar quantity if needed.
  • Let the galette cool slightly before slicing to allow the filling to set.
