Save And Summarize This Recipe
One of the best things about a galette is that it does not need to look perfect to turn out beautifully. If you enjoy simple fruit desserts that feel a little special without a lot of effort, recipes like this Apple Cranberry Tart and these Lemon Blueberry Cookies are in the same easy-but-pretty dessert category.

This is also the kind of dessert that fits right in at a summer dinner party, brunch, or holiday table. Serve it on its own or alongside another fruit-forward treat like this Strawberry Sorbet or Greek Yogurt Bark for a fresh and easy dessert spread.
This pairs well with this amazing Lamb Burger With Zucchini that I love to serve company. If you are looking for another delicious galette then this Blueberry Galette is delicious or a tasty cocktail, then try this raspberry gin and tonic! I also love my Mixed Berry Trifle!
Key Ingredients
- Store-Bought Pie Dough: This is what keeps the recipe so simple. It bakes up beautifully golden and flaky without the extra step of making homemade crust. In testing, letting the dough sit at room temperature for a few minutes before unrolling made it much easier to work with.
- Mixed Berries: A combination of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries gives the filling the best balance of sweetness, tartness, and texture. In testing, using a mix instead of just one berry gave the galette a fuller flavor and a prettier finish. If you love berry desserts, this Patriotic Trifle is another great one for summer.
- Cornstarch: A small amount goes a long way here. It helps thicken the berry juices as the galette bakes so the filling stays juicy without turning too runny.

Variations
- Use Different Fruit - You can swap the mixed berries for sliced peaches, nectarines, plums, cherries, or apples depending on the time of year. This is a great way to use what is in season and make the recipe work beyond summer.
- Make It Gluten-Free - Use your favorite gluten-free pie dough in place of regular pie crust. It is an easy swap that still gives you a crisp, golden edge.
- Make It Creamy - For a slightly richer dessert, spread a thin layer of cream cheese, mascarpone, or ricotta under the fruit before baking.
- Jam - Adding a touch of jam to the berries prior to serving will make the berries pop with a nice shine and add more sugar to the pie.
The texture of the galette was just right, crisp and flaky crust on the outside, with juicy and tender berries nestled inside. It was the perfect balance of textures. Planning to make a peach galette next using the same recipe. Excited to see how it turns out with fresh ripe peaches.

How To Make This Mixed Berry Galette: Step-By-Step
Step 1: Combine 3 cups of berries into a bowl. Add the sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice and mix until combined.
Step 2: Roll out the pie dough and heap the berries into the middle. Fold the dough over the berries.
Step 3: Fold the edges over and crimp the edges to flute the dough.
Step 4: Add an egg wash and then dust the outside with sugar. Then bake.
Hint: The entire galette can be made hours in advance and left at room temperature until serving. If you would like to serve this warm, simply heat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and warm the galette for 10 minutes. If you would like to make it a few days ahead, store this in the refrigerator then re-warm it before serving.
Gwen's Pro Tip
If you re-warm your galette and the berries look a bit dry or limp, spread a bit of jam over the berries. You can warm the jam in the microwave for 15 seconds to loosen it up and make it easier to spread.
What Is a Berry Galette?
A berry galette is a rustic, free-form fruit tart made by folding pie dough around a berry filling and baking it until golden and bubbly. It has all the flavor of pie but feels much easier and less fussy, which makes it a great dessert when you want something homemade without a lot of extra work.
Best Berries to Use
The best berries for a galette are a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries because they give you the best balance of sweetness, tartness, and texture. Strawberries add body, blueberries bring extra juiciness, and raspberries add a brighter flavor, but you can easily swap in blackberries or use whatever berries are in season.
Mixed Berry Galette FAQ's
A galette is a more rustic, free-form version of a pie. Instead of being baked in a pie dish, the dough is folded up around the fruit on a baking sheet, which makes it a little easier and more forgiving.
While I typically don't do this step as I like the juice from the berries to seep out, you can brush the interior crust of the galette with egg white before adding the berries.
Yes, you can prep the galette ahead and refrigerate it before baking, or bake it earlier in the day and serve it later at room temperature. If you love easy fruit desserts for entertaining, this peach sorbet is another simple option to keep in mind.
Yes, you can use frozen berries which I do in the winter. Simply make sure that the cornstarch is adhering to the berries when mixing.
Galettes are traditionally made with standard butter-laced pie dough. However, yes you can use puff pastry dough. It will make your crust even flakier!
