Serving and Pairing Suggestions
Once your stunning galette is out of the oven and ready to serve, try pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some whipped cream for a touch of decadence.
Want some extra flavor? Drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup on top! Or, lean into the refreshing vibes with Watermelon Agua Fresca for a bright, summer drink that complements the berries so well.
If you’re feeling snacky, whip up some Yogurt Mint Dressing to dip some fruit slices in on the side. Oprah would say, “You get a galette, you get a galette!” So make sure there’s enough for everyone!
Tips and Notes
- Fresh Fruit: Use any combination of berries you like! Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or even blackberries work beautifully.
- Dough Texture: Ensure your dough is not too sticky. If it is, add a little more gluten-free flour until it’s workable.
- Storing: If you have leftovers (doubt it!), store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
- Dairy-Free Option: Swap the butter with coconut oil or a dairy-free butter substitute for a vegan version!

Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour - for better texture, choose a blend with xanthan gum
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar - adds sweetness and tenderness
- 1/4 teaspoon salt - enhances flavor
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter - chilled and diced (for a flaky crust)
- 1/4 cup cold water - adjust as necessary
- 2 cups mixed berries - strawberries, blueberries, raspberries – fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar - adjust based on berry sweetness
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch - for thickening the berry filling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - adds flavor

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
- Add the chilled butter and mix with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
