Strawberry Rhubarb Galette with Vanilla Ice Cream
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons of ice water
- 1 1/2 cups of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 1/2 cups of fresh rhubarb, chopped
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 6 scoops of vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of sugar. Sprinkle the ice water over the mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, and gently toss with a fork until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, chopped rhubarb, 1/2 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- Arrange the strawberry rhubarb mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed.
- Brush the edges of the galette with the beaten egg wash. Sprinkle the edges with a little extra sugar if desired.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Allow the galette to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve each slice of the galette with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy!
