Servings 8
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
Ingredients
Gallette:
- 1 pie crust **store-bought or homemade
- 2 cups of blackberries
- 2 tbsp white sugar more or less depending on the sweetness of the berries
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 egg, beaten
- Raw sugar
Whipped Cream:
- 1 half a pint of whipping cream
- Powdered sugar, to taste
- 1 vanilla bean, seeds removed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat mat.
- Clean the blackberries, then place them in a bowl and sprinkle sugar and cornstarch on top. Gently stir the blackberries until the sugar and corn starch are evenly covering the berries.
- Pour the blackberries inside the pie crust, starting one inch from the edge. Fold the edge of the dough over the blackberries.
- Brush the dough with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the edges with the raw sugar.
- Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the galette is baking, make the whipped cream.
- Pour the whipping cream into a large bowl, and add powdered sugar to taste, until the cream is your desired sweetness (I used 2 tablespoons).
- Gently remove the seeds from the vanilla pod with the back of your knife, and place them into the whipping cream.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on high until the whipping cream is thick and fluffy.
- Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with homemade whipped cream. Enjoy.
