    Blueberry Galette with vanilla ice cream.

    This Blueberry Galette recipe makes an easy summer dessert that comes together in no time at all, and makes the most of summer's bountiful blueberries!

    blueberry galette with vanilla ice cream.

    You guys! I am SO excited. Summer berry season is here, and I am in foodie heaven!!

    Oregon Hood Strawberries are my absolute FAVORITE summer berries, but our Oregon Marionberries, Cascade Raspberries, and Blue Crop Blueberries are all right up there in my heart of hearts. That's the inspiration for this Blueberry Galette recipe.

    🌟 What makes this dessert so amazing

    blueberries

    Fresh blueberries: If you live near berry farms and have had the chance to pick your own blueberries, you know that store-bought berries just can't compare to those fresh fruit flavors. But even if you don't have access to farm fresh fruit, this dessert will still come out great.

    Easy recipe: I do use store-bought pie dough in this recipe, so you don't have to worry about making your own!

    Not your typical dessert: Amaze your friends at your next barbecue party with this twist on a traditional fruit pie.

    Versatile: You can substitute almost any bake-able fruit and it will taste amazing.

    🛒 Ingredient notes

    You just need two ingredients to make this dessert:

    • fresh blueberries (or frozen)
    • a package of pastry dough

    Couldn't be easier!

    ✅ Step-by-step instructions

    1. In a small bowl, combine ¼ teaspoon cinnamon with 1 tablespoon sugar; set aside.

    2. Thaw refrigerated pie dough according to package instructions. Set each one on top of a baking sheet.

    3. In a large bowl, stir together blueberries, cornstarch, lemon zest and juice, and remaining 1 tsp cinnamon and ½ cup sugar until blueberries are well coated.

    4. Spoon half of the blueberry mixture onto the center of one dough; repeat with the other half onto the other dough. 

    5. Gently fold dough over part of the blueberry mixture, and then continue around the circle to create pleats. Place half of the butter cubes on top of one blueberry center, and then repeat with the remaining half on the other one.

    6. Use a pastry brush to lightly glaze the tops of each dough with the egg wash. Sprinkle the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over both of the galettes. 

    7. Bake at 425 degrees for about 20-25 minutes, just until the tops of the dough become lightly golden. Cool on a baking rack for a few minutes before serving. 

    ❓Recipe FAQs

    What is a galette?

    A galette is a very simple, rustic, free-form round pastry. It's usually a single layer, filled with fruit or veggies. The edges are often folded inward slightly.

    How are galettes different from pies?

    Galettes offer a more equal crust-to-fruit ratio than pies, making each bite absolutely delicious. They can also be more forgiving to make. The freeform rustic style allows you to not stress about how this dessert looks.

    Can I use frozen fruit in my galette?

    Yes! I just prefer fresh fruit as it lends a brighter, juicier flavor.

    Can I make my own pie dough?

    Absolutely! If you'd like to make your pastry dough from scratch, I personally love this NY Times pastry crust recipe. I've used for pies, galettes, quiches, and more.

    🍽 What to serve with this dessert

    I make a lot of galettes, particularly in the summer. I recently made blueberry galettes for a summer soiree with good friends!

    Some great complimentary dishes include Grilled Shrimp Pineapple Skewers, Ricotta Crostini with Summer Berries, and Corn with Basil Lime Butter.

    🍷 Best wine to serve with a blueberry galette

    Blueberry Galette with red wine

    I paired this blueberry galette with a velvety, rich cabernet sauvignon. You could also enjoy this with a robust Merlot.

    Don't let anyone tell you that you can't enjoy a big red wine with your summer meal. The dark fruit flavors in a cabernet sauvignon help bring out the richness of the blueberries. So good together!

    Ingredients

    • 2 9" refrigerated pie doughs (1 package usually contains 2)
    • 1 pound fresh blueberries (about 3 cups)
    • 2 tablespoon cornstarch
    • 2 teaspoon lemon zest
    • 2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
    • 1 ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
    • ½ cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes and divided
    • 1 egg, lightly beaten

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine ¼ teaspoon cinnamon with 1 tablespoon sugar; set aside. 
    • Thaw refrigerated pie dough according to package instructions. This recipe uses both dough circles typically in one package. Set each one on top of a baking sheet. Set aside.
    • In a large bowl, stir together blueberries, cornstarch, lemon zest and juice, and remaining 1 tsp cinnamon and ½ cup sugar until blueberries are well coated. 
    • Spoon half of the blueberry mixture onto the center of one dough; repeat with the other half onto the other dough. 
    • Gently fold dough over part of the blueberry mixture, and then continue around the circle to create pleats. Place half of the butter cubes on top of one blueberry center, and then repeat with the remaining half on the other one. 
    • Use a pastry brush to lightly glaze the tops of each dough with the egg wash. Sprinkle the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over both of the galettes. 
    • Bake at 425 degrees for about 20-25 minutes, just until the tops of the dough become lightly golden. Cool on a baking rack for a few minutes before serving. 

    Notes

    One comment I hear a lot is about berries overflowing and bursting through/over the galette crust.
    Personally, I don't mind this if it happens a bit over an edge or so. But if you're a color-within-the-lines kind of gal/guy and don't want your berries to do this while baking, I suggest two things.
    1. Dry off your berries well with a paper towel after washing them before placing them onto the crust. This will help remove excess water that can cause more liquid overflow.
    2. Don't overfill. You should place enough berries on your dough center to cover the dough, but don't pile a huge mound of berries too high that they'll collapse and bubble over the galette edges when baking.
    Extra tip: For an ever sweeter treat, serve the galette with a scoop of your favorite ice cream!
