There are ground nuts and flour in the dough of this strawberry pistachio galette with frangipane filing and sliced berries. It’s an easy dessert.
When you have a major sweet tooth like I do, it takes a lot to say to no dessert and treats.
The other day I was chatting with a friend at work. She offered me part of a scone from this amazing bakery that might have the best scones I’ve ever eaten. And I even spend a few years living in London!
When I politely declined, she said that I always turn down sweets. I explained that I have selective restraint when it comes to baked goods.
Being a blogger, we pretty much always have some sort of dessert leftovers around the house. Of course that’s good motivation to get to the gym, but I do try to be thoughtful about the other goodies I come across in a routine day.
I love to indulge, but I know I can’t say yes to everything all the time. If I did, I don’t think I would be so delighted by dessert.
As most people know, chocolate is my confection of choice, but during the spring and summer months everything changes.
Fruit manages to make it into my usual chocolate baking rotation.
That fruit comes in the form of tarts, pies and cakes.
When I’m too lazy to roll out a tart and blind bake the crust, I just fold the edges of the dough into a rustic galette.
For this strawberry pistachio galette, I replaced part of the flour with ground pistachios.
After whizzing up the dough in the food processor and letting it rest, I made pistachio frangipane for the filling.
I was going for something that had balance of nuts and fruit instead of the usual galette that’s totally jammy and fruity.
Then I rolled out the dough and spread on the filling. I arranged sliced strawberries in circles and folded over the edges of the dough creating a border.
Once my strawberry pistachio galette finished baking, I dusted the top with a little powdered sugar.
