CHERRY GALETTE



Cherry Galette image

I discovered the ease of Recipe #94405 recently, and my non-baking self fell in love. When I was overloaded with sweet cherries, I had to find a galette recipe to use them. This is an adaptation of a recipe found at an online wine site. That recipe used a homemade crust, but I think that the part of the appeal of the galette for me, aside from satisfying my sweet tooth, is the ease of using the refrigerated ones.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
4 to 5 tablespoons ice-cold water
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 large egg, separated
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ounces frozen sour cherries, thawed and well drained
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons Demerara sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt together in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal with some pea-size lumps. Drizzle in the vinegar and 4 tablespoons of the water; pulse until a dough starts to come together. If the mixture is too dry, add more water, a teaspoon at a time.
  • Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, form into a disk and wrap well. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • For the filling: Beat the cream cheese, egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, and the vanilla in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • In another bowl, toss the cherries with the cornstarch and the remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
  • Finish the galette: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll the dough out to a 12-inch round. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Spoon the cherries over the cream cheese, leaving any excess juice in the bowl. Fold the edges of the dough over so they just barely cover some of the filling.
  • Beat the egg white with a splash of water and brush it over the crust. Sprinkle the Demerara sugar evenly over the filling and crust.
  • Bake until the crust is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Yield Makes one 14-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 10

All-purpose flour, for dusting
Pate Sucree for Tarts
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup unsalted almonds, toasted and cooled
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds sweet cherries, such as Bing, pitted
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Steps:

  • On a piece of lightly floured parchment, roll out dough to a 16-inch-long oval (1/4 inch thick). Transfer dough and parchment to a baking sheet. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
  • Process 1/4 cup sugar, the almonds, nutmeg, and salt in a food processor to combine. Gently toss with cherries.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spoon cherries over dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Dot with butter. Fold in edges, pressing gently. Refrigerate until cold, 30 minutes.
  • Whisk yolk with cream; brush over edges of tart. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar (or to taste). Bake until golden, 45 to 50 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries. This will ensure that your galette has the best flavor.
  • Pit the cherries before using them. This will make it easier to eat the galette and prevent the pits from getting stuck in your teeth.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the cherries. This will help to prevent them from getting bruised.
  • Don't overcrowd the galette. Leave some space between the cherries so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the galette until the crust is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling. This will ensure that the galette is cooked through.
  • Let the galette cool for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help to prevent the filling from spilling out.

Conclusion:

A fresh cherry galette is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for summer gatherings. With its flaky crust and sweet, tart filling, this galette is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give this recipe a try.
