Strawberry Rhubarb Galette with Whipped 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
- 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)
- 1 tablespoon of turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
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 at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, 1/2 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the fruit and set aside.
- 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 fruit, pleating as needed.
- Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake the galette for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Serve the warm galette with a generous scoop of whipped cream on top. Enjoy!
The Strawberry Rhubarb Galette is a delightful dessert that originated in France. This rustic, free-form tart features a buttery, flaky crust filled with a sweet and tangy mixture of fresh strawberries and rhubarb. The galette is then baked to golden perfection and served with a generous scoop of homemade whipped cream on top, adding a luscious touch to the dish. Renowned chefs like Julia Child and Jacques Pépin have popularized this classic dessert, and it has become a staple in many French-inspired bakeries and restaurants around the world. The best version of this dish can be found in quaint patisseries in the countryside of France, where the strawberries and rhubarb are sourced locally, ensuring the freshest and most flavorful filling. To make the perfect Strawberry Rhubarb Galette, it's crucial to use ripe, juicy strawberries and vibrant, crisp rhubarb. The balance of sweetness and tartness in the filling is key to achieving the ideal flavor profile. Additionally, mastering the art of creating a flaky, tender crust is essential for a successful galette. While the traditional method involves hand-rolling the dough, some chefs opt for alternative techniques such as using a food processor to achieve the perfect texture.
