Galettes are simple to make and nobody cares if they are messy. I’ve read somewhere they are relaxed tarts with fillings blowout. I love this this description so much! It makes you create with so much ease, having a galette pan or not, combining fruits and filling totally up to your choice.
I use simple sheet pan dish with parchment paper below and make rounded or rectangular shape. It’s really one of those easy going recipes. And if you scoop some of your favourite ice cream aside, you get such a beautiful dessert done within about 30 minutes.
When enjoying this rustic plum galette with pistachio frangipane we usually enjoy vanilla ice cream. But, it’s just us. You may enjoy it without any. The beautiful texture of frangipane makes it such a great food to serve for any occasion.
Now, before you scroll down to details, here are some questions that pop out about this type of dessert:
What is the difference between a pie and a galette?
Galette is basically a pie made without using a pie dish, but because that would be too simple galettes can be made with any type of pastry dough. To make, you flatten your dough and pile your fruit filling in the centre leave about 1-2 inches of space between the filling and the edge of the pasty.
Is a galette the same as a tart?
A tart is fancy. And a galette splits the difference, but is easier than either one. The defining factor of a galette (which can also be called a crostata if you’ve got Italian inclinations) is that it’s a free-form pastry, baked without the stability of a pie pan or tart ring.
Is galette served hot or cold?
You can eat them hot, warm, or cold (as opposed to traditional pie, which must cool completely before slicing), on their own or topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
