A galette is like a slice of heaven wrapped in a warm pastry hug! It's a French delight that's as charming and rustic as it sounds. Imagine a flat, round cake, either made of flaky pastry dough or those thin, pancake-like pastries – both equally delightful. In our case, we're talking about a scrumptious fruit-filled galette, encased in a dairy-free cinnamon crust that's bursting with juicy goodness. Just think of it as a cozy, casual way to enjoy all those beautiful seasonal fruits. It's one of those desserts that feel like a warm embrace on a lazy summer day or any day, really!
The first step in this recipe is to assemble the delicious vegan pastry crust. Here's what you'll need:
That's it! Ice-cold water helps the pie dough come together.
Tip: When mixing the pie dough, be careful not to overmix it. If you knead it too much, you'll end up with tough dough because too much gluten will develop.
While the vegan pie dough rests in the fridge, you can make the simple berry filling for your galette.
All it takes is tossing together a few ingredients:
I love using fresh berries when they are in season-- But you can most definitely use frozen berries for the galette too. Frozen berries are a great option because they are readily available all year round. Just make sure to thaw frozen berries before using them in the galette. You can do this by placing them in a colander and letting them sit at room temperature for a little while until they are partially thawed and any excess liquid has drained off. Then, simply proceed with the galette recipe as usual!
When you're ready to build your summer vegan galette, start with a lightly floured work surface.
If you're having trouble rolling the dough, cover it and let it rest on the counter for a few minutes. This relaxes the gluten so it's easier to roll.
Tip: When filling the dough, leave the juices behind in the bowl. Instead, use a slotted spoon to transfer just the solids to the rolled-out pastry crust.
Not at all! The Vegan Berry Galette recipe is surprisingly easy to make, and you don't need to be a seasoned baker! The preparation process is straightforward, and the steps are simple to follow. Even if you're new to baking, this galette will make you feel like a pro in no time.
Absolutely! Making mini galettes is a fun and adorable twist on the classic. Simply divide the dough into smaller portions and shape individual galettes with your berry filling.
This Vegan Berry Galette is perfect for any time of the day or any occasion! Here are some ideas where to enjoy it -
Galette is amazing on its own, but it gets even better with these epic combos:
Keep leftover galette tightly wrapped with heavy duty plastic wrap and foil paper refrigerated for 3-4 days. Re-heat each slice when serving.
Yes, you can use store-bought vegan pie crust if you prefer. It will save you some time in the kitchen, and the galette will still turn out delicious. However, making the pastry from scratch adds a personal touch and gives you full control over the ingredients.
Absolutely! You can use a gluten-free pie crust or make your own gluten-free pastry using alternative flours like Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour.
Yes, you can certainly experiment with different fruits! While the recipe is specifically for a Vegan Berry Galette, you can use other fruits like apples, peaches, plums, or even a mix of seasonal fruits. The galette's flaky crust and rustic charm work well with various fruit fillings.

LET US KNOW!
Hi there! I'm about to make this galette, but I just noticed that the "filling" section doesn't specify what quantity of blackberries to use (in fact, the poor blackberries weren't mentioned at all). I'm guessing it's sufficient to use the typical small plastic container of blackberries commonly available at most grocery stores? That's what I'm going to use. I'll report back later. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Meg! I do apologize that I missed that! I've updated it, however, you can use 1 cup of blackberries OR the entire small pint if you like having more. I do hope that it turned out great! 🙂
I used a 6 oz. container, so it probably amounted to the one cup you specify. The galette is delicious! The pastry turned out wonderfully -- crisp, tasty, and just the right balance of flakiness and density. I used homemade vegan butter and dialed back the spices a wee bit (I almost always do that anyway). The fruit flavors really shone through and complemented each other nicely. Very easy to put together, too. I'll be keeping this recipe and making it again, for sure. Thanks again!
That's so awesome! I'm so happy that your galette turned out great! It really is an amazing dessert! I hope that you continue to enjoy! Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Meg! 🙂
