Can Frozen Blueberries Be Used In This Galette Recipe?
This galette recipe has been tested with both fresh and frozen blueberries. We found that fresh berries gave the best results.
It is possible to use frozen berries in this recipe, just keep in mind that the filling won’t thicken as well as using fresh.
Baking Blueberry Galette with Puff Pastry
There are a couple of ways to make this galette. Either way is easy.
The traditional way of baking a galette is in an oven on a baking sheet. We have baked it this way, especially in the winter months.
During the summer months, we use our pellet smoker for baking and that is how we bake this galette. When it is 30+ degrees outside plus humidity heating up the house is out of the question. So we bake on the smoker. Apple, cherry or competition blend pellets are great ways to add a smoky flavour to this dessert.
Serving Blueberry Galette
To serve this galette, let it cool before slicing. If you try to slice it while it’s hot, the berry filling will make a mess. Room temperature or cooler is best to slice this dessert.
Once sliced, the galette can be served alone or with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
When serving on it’s own, we like to add a dusting of powdered sugar over the top. A mint leaf makes a nice decoration for the top of a slice as well.
Storing Leftover Galette
Any leftovers should be covered and refrigerated for up to three days. Unfortunately this recipe doesn’t freeze well so we don’t recommend freezing.
