Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Chef's Knife
- Oven
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry thawed
- 1 stalk rhubarb diced
- 8 ounces fresh strawberries ends trimmed and sliced
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 3-4 tablespoons cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
- Pinch cardamom optional
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- All purpose flour for dusting
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup optional, for browning the crust
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar optional; for the crust
Instructions
- Thaw the puff pastry according to the package instructions. Preheat your oven to 400F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the diced rhubarb, sliced strawberries, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons of cane sugar. Mix well, gently folding the ingredients together so as not to bruise the fruit. Taste a piece of strawberry, and adjust the sweetness with more sugar or lemon juice as needed.
- Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the fruit mixture and fold until it’s completely dissolved and the filling appears slightly glossy.
- Generously dust a clean work surface with flour. Unfold the puff pastry onto the floured surface and lightly roll it out with a rolling pin, ensuring it’s not too thick.
- Transfer the rolled puff pastry to the lined baking sheet. Place the prepared fruit filling in the center of the pastry, using a spatula to spread it into a rough circle.
- Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the fruit, pinching the folds together to create a rustic edge.
- If you desire a golden and crispy crust, brush the edges with maple syrup and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges of the puff pastry rise and turn golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the galette from the oven and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the galette to a cutting board and slice it into 6-8 pieces. Serve warm, either plain or topped with dairy-free vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
Notes
- Tip 1: Make the filling the same way, but use a gluten-free crust for a delicious alternative.
