Description
A delicious raspberry and blackberry galette topped with lemon whipped cream, perfect for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust, quality from the store
- 1 1/2 cups (180g) fresh raspberries, plump and juicy
- 1 cup (120g) fresh blackberries, shiny and deep in color
- 3 tbsp (36g) white sugar, granulated
- 1 1/2 tsp (5g) cornstarch, fresh for best results
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest, from the yellow part of the lemon
- 1 egg, well beaten, at room temperature
- Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling, or raw sugar as an alternative
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, ice-cold
- 3–4 tbsp (24-32g) powdered sugar, to taste
- 1 tsp lemon zest, from a fresh lemon
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- Turbinado sugar, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare Baking Sheet: Begin by heating your oven to 375 degrees F. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Roll Out the Dough: Take your chilled pie crust and roll it out into a rough circle, about the thickness of a quarter. Do not worry too much about perfection as the rustic look adds charm.
- Arrange the Berries: Spread the mixed raspberries and blackberries in the center of the dough, leaving some space around the edges. Coat the berries with cornstarch to prevent sogginess.
- Fold the Edges: Gently fold the edges of the dough up and over the berries. Create a handmade look by not stressing about perfection.
- Brush & Sprinkle Toppings: Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle some sugar on top for added sweetness and a nice crunch.
- Bake & Cool: Place the galette in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, until the crust is golden and the juices are bubbling. Keep a close eye on it, especially near the end for perfect doneness.
- Whip Lemon Cream: While the galette cools, take your chilled heavy cream and whip it with the powdered sugar and lemon zest until stiff peaks form. Avoid over-whipping to keep it from turning grainy.
- Serve & Enjoy: Once cool, slice the galette and top it with the lemon cream. Enjoy immediately for the best texture.

Ingredient Notes
- Pre-made pie crust: This is your time-saver! Grab a quality one from the store. It’s all about that flaky goodness without the hassle.
- Fresh raspberries: These add a bright, tangy twist to your galette. Look for plump, juicy berries without any mushy spots.
- Fresh blackberries: They bring a subtle sweetness to balance the tartness of the raspberries. Pick berries that are shiny and deep in color.
- White sugar: Just a touch of sweetness to complement the berries nicely. Granulated sugar works best here; brown sugar will change the flavor a bit.
- Cornstarch: This helps thicken up the juices from the berries, so your galette doesn’t turn soggy. Make sure it’s fresh for the best results.
- Lemon zest: It adds a zesty lift to the whole dish. Use a microplane and only take the yellow part, no bitter white pith, please!
- Egg: A beaten egg gives the crust a nice golden finish. Use one that’s at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Turbinado sugar: This gives a lovely crunch and a bit of sparkle on top. If you can’t find it, raw sugar is a good alternative.
- Heavy cream: You want this to be super cold for whipping, it makes your whipped cream extra light and fluffy. Don’t skimp on the fat here!
- Powdered sugar: A little of this sweet stuff will help round out the whipped cream’s flavor. You can adjust to your desired sweetness level.
- Fresh lemon juice: It brightens up the whipped cream and balances the sweetness. Freshly squeezed is always the way to go!
Recipe Tips
- If using frozen berries, make sure to thaw them fully and drain any excess liquid to prevent a soggy filling.
- When preparing your crust, keeping it chilled helps avoid toughness; work with it quickly to maintain its integrity.
- If your galette is browning too fast, try covering it loosely with foil to allow for even cooking without burning.
- For whipped cream that holds its shape, chill your bowl and beaters before whipping to achieve better results.
- When assembling the galette, sprinkle a little cornstarch on the berries to manage juice release during baking.
