This rustic Strawberry Galette is a quick and easy dessert recipe that can be assembled in just 10 minutes using store-bought, refrigerated pie crust.

I’m going to preface this recipe by saying that the name of this 10-Minute Strawberry Galette can be a little deceptive. I promise that this galette will take you no more than ten minutes to assemble, but the baking time will add on another 35-40 minutes.
So, even though this is one of the most easy dessert recipes that you’ll find, there’s still that waiting game where the house fills with the most amazing aroma and you keep peeking into the oven wondering when you can finally dig in!
But, I find that those 35 minutes give you just enough time to wash the (minimal) dishes, pull the ice cream out of the freezer to let it soften a bit, and zone out for half an episode of Real Housewives.
Hit pause and then enjoy the rest of the drama with a plate of this Strawberry Galette topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Or… Invite company over and prepare to impress them.
They’ll have no idea you made this Strawberry Galette in less than the amount of time it takes to scroll through all your unread emails for the day…
Ingredient notes
The ingredients here are simple, which is perfect because I really wanted the flavor of those beautiful strawberries to shine through:
- 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.
- Strawberries – You can use fresh or frozen strawberries 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.
- Vanilla Bean Infused Salt – This is optional. But delicious on the crust edges!
How to make it
- Toss your fresh strawberries together with a bit of sugar, vanilla extract, and some flour to help thicken the strawberry juices as they cook away. Then, just pile them onto that refrigerated pie crust.
- Leave about 2 inches around the border and then fold up the crust, pleating it as you go. There’s no need to be fancy here. Instead of calling our pleating style “messy” we call it “rustic.” The more rustic, the better.
- To finish things off (and all this is totally optional), I brushed the crust with some egg and sprinkled on some coarse (turbinado) sugar and sliced almonds. The egg helps the crust get nice and golden and the sugar and almonds add a bit of extra texture to the galette.
- My final step was to sprinkle some vanilla bean infused salt over the top of the berries, to just give it that little bit of something extra… Again, totally optional.
Can I make a strawberry galette with frozen berries?
You can definitely swap in frozen berries for the fresh berries in this recipe. There’s no need to thaw the strawberries and no need to add any extra baking time.
Can I use different fruits in this galette recipe?
Yes! Use what you like. This galette would also be amazing with any of the following fruits:
- Peaches
- Raspberries
- Plums
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
- Apples
- Cherries
- 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.
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.
