Strawberry Galette with Homemade Vanilla Whipped Cream
I had one pie crust to use up, so I decided to make this easy strawberry galette with homemade vanilla whipped cream recipe with my daughter. It was a fun afternoon cooking with my little sous chef, and she really liked placing the strawberry slices onto the pie crust and making the whipped cream. This easy rustic fruit pie recipe was a fun project with my daughter, and we all thought the strawberry pie was delicious.
Strawberry Galette with Homemade Vanilla Whipped Cream
Ingredients:
- 1 pie crust
- 10-15 strawberries, stems removed & sliced
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 egg, beaten
- Raw sugar
- 1 half a pint of heavy whipping cream
- Powdered sugar, to taste
- 1 vanilla bean, seeds removed
How to Make Strawberry Galette with Homemade Vanilla Whipped Cream
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the strawberries, then remove the stems and slice them lengthwise.
Place the sliced strawberries into a bowl and sprinkle the sugar and cornstarch on top.
Gently stir the strawberries until the sugar and cornstarch are evenly covering the berries.
Layer the berries overlapping each other inside the pie crust, starting one inch from the edge.
Fold the edge of the dough over the strawberries.
Brush the dough with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the edges with the raw sugar.
Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the whipped cream by pouring the heavy whipping cream into a large bowl. Add powdered sugar until the cream is at your desired degree of sweetness (I used 2 tablespoons).
Gently remove the seeds from the vanilla pod and place them into the whipping cream.
Using a hand mixer, beat on high until the whipping cream is thick and fluffy.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire cooling rack for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve with homemade whipped cream. Enjoy.

I so miss the "little sous chef" days. How sweet and how sweet that lovely dessert is.

And proud she should be, Pam! Her Strawberry Galette looks simply heavenly! The photos brought tears to my eyes. Only last week I was baking "Secret Muffins" with my grandchildren. Would you believe, I did not take one picture!!! Cherish these moments Pam. They are priceless:)
P.S. LOL word verification, Rennet…

What a spring-ish cake that looks like. I'm craving strawberries right now so this sounds irresistible…
A gorgeous yummy dessert!
I've been so into the galettes this year so I always make sure to keep pie crust on hand.
I was going to enter a strawberry contest with a strawberry galette this year but ran out of time. I did make it though with mascarpone and cointreau and it was incredible. This looks wonderful Pam!
Looks delicious! I'm assuming the 3rd ingredient down is supposed to say "2 tbsp sugar" instead of strawberries?
Lovely. The colour of fresh, ripe strawberries just lends itself so easily to beautiful desserts.
