What is a galette? Think of it as a stress-free pie. This quick and easy strawberry galette crust comes together in mere minutes. Simply combine a few ingredients in a food processor and let it work its magic. Alternatively, you can embrace the traditional method and work the butter into the flour using your fingertips.

Regardless of your mixing method, this recipe is practically foolproof. The next step is preparing the filling—a symphony of juicy, sweet fruit flavors.

If strawberries aren’t in season or if you prefer other fruits, feel free to choose whatever looks best at your local market. Raspberries, blueberries, peaches, pears, and apples are all excellent choices for this flaky crust. The beauty of a galette lies in its rustic charm – the filling is simply piled onto the dough, which is then casually folded up and around the fruit.

This recipe also includes instructions for a luscious mascarpone whipped cream, infused with the delicate flavor of vanilla bean seeds. But don’t hesitate to use ice cream if that’s what you’re craving! For a truly homemade experience, skip the store-bought ice cream and whip up some No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream using only three simple ingredients—no ice cream machine necessary!
