I’m going to preface this post by saying that the name of this 10-Minute Blackberry Galette recipe can be a deceptive. While I guarantee that this galette will take you no more than ten minutes to assemble, the baking time will add on another 35-40 minutes.
So, hands on time = 10 minutes. Hands off time = 35 minutes, which leaves you just enough time to pull that ice cream out of the freezer and get it perfectly softened and scoop-able.
I love serving this dessert for dinner parties since it’s so simple to make, but it’s also totally impressive.

Ingredient notes
- Pie Crust – You’ll need one 9-inch refrigerated pie crust. This isn’t the kind that you find in the freezer that’s already formed into pie tins. You’ll find this stuff in the refrigerator aisle, near those tubes of biscuits and cinnamon rolls. I use pillsbury pie crusts that you find in the refrigerated section. You can also make homemade pie crust.
- Blackberries – You can use fresh or frozen blackberries for this recipe.
- Coarse Sugar – Aka turbinado sugar. Regular sugar will also work.
- Vanilla Extract – Have you tried making sous vide vanilla extract yet? It’s amazing!
- Flour
- Egg
- Sliced Almonds – These are optional. But they give a yummy crunch to the crust.
How to Make It
Step 1
Unroll the Crust
- Start with store-bought, refrigerated pie crust. This isn’t the kind that you find in the freezer that’s already formed into pie tins. This crust comes rolled up, and you’ll find it in the refrigerator aisle, near those tubes of biscuits and cinnamon rolls which I absolutely cannot touch because their spontaneous popping scares me half to death. Strange, because I have absolutely no issues with popping a bottle of champagne…
Step 2
Season the Berries
- The rest of the ingredients are simple – Some fresh blackberries, a bit of coarse sugar, vanilla extract and a squeeze of lemon juice get tossed together with a bit of flour. The flour helps to thicken the juices that run out of the blackberries as they bake away.
Step 3
Fill the Crust
- Load that yummy mixture into the middle of your pie crust, leaving about a 2-inch border around the whole thing, and then fold up the crust, pleating as you go. There’s no need to be fancy. What may be considered “messy” in some circumstances is simply known as “rustic” here.
Step 4
Bake
- To give my blackberry galette a bit of a special touch, I brushed the crust with some egg white and sprinkled it with coarse sugar and almonds. As it bakes away, the crust and the almonds will take on the most gorgeous golden color.
Then it’s time to eat.
How to serve it
I like to slice up the galette and serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream on top. You can also serve it with a dollop of whipped cream.
Variations
This galette would also be amazing with any of the following fruits:
- Peaches
- Raspberries
- Plums
- Blueberries
- Apples
- Cherries
- Strawberries
- Pears
You can also use a combination of two fruits – peaches and raspberries would be amazing together. Also, have fun experimenting with different spices and flavorings. Try a combination of cardamon with cherries, cinnamon with pears, or drizzle an apple galette with salted caramel or honey.
