The Ultimate Blackberry Galette: A Simple Summer Dessert
Rustic, effortless, and impossibly delicious.
When you want a beautiful dessert but don’t feel like baking from scratch, this Blackberry Galette is exactly what you need. It’s the kind of recipe that looks like it came from a bakery window, but secretly comes together with minimal effort—thanks to store-bought dough, fresh berries, and a handful of simple pantry ingredients.
Juicy blackberries bubble inside a buttery, caramel-kissed filling with hints of vanilla, lemon, and cinnamon, all wrapped in a golden, flaky crust. Serve it warm with vanilla bean ice cream, and it’s pure magic in every bite.
And just like everything we create—from a beautifully curated cookie gift box to a fun cookie decorating kit—we believe desserts should feel both joyful and effortless. At our feeling good bakery, we take pride in our process, our facility, our team, our products, and our mission to give back. We bake integrity into everything we do.

Ingredients
For the Filling
-
2½–3 cups fresh blackberries
-
⅓ cup brown sugar
-
2 tbsp melted butter
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
-
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
-
2 tbsp arrowroot starch
-
Pinch of cinnamon

Pinch of sea salt
-
1 box store-bought pie dough (or puff pastry)
For Finishing
-
1 egg white + 1 tsp water (beaten, for egg wash)

Coarse sugar for sprinkling
Method
1. Prep the Dough
Remove pie dough from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
2. Make the Filling
In a large bowl or pan, combine melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, arrowroot starch, cinnamon, and salt.
Add blackberries and gently toss to coat.
3. Preheat Oven
Preheat to 400°F.
4. Shape the Dough
On a floured sheet of parchment paper, roll dough into a rough circle or square about ⅛ inch thick.
5. Assemble
Transfer parchment and dough to a baking sheet.
Spoon blackberry mixture into the center, leaving a 2-inch border.
6. Fold the Edges
Fold dough edges over the filling, pleating as needed. It should look rustic—not perfect.
7. Finish the Crust
Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
8. Bake
Bake at 400°F for about 30 minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
If juices spill out, that’s totally fine—just let it cool and they’ll set.
9. Cool & Serve
Let cool 15–20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream and enjoy. Xo

Keep it rustic
Imperfect folds are what make galettes beautiful. -
Let it cool slightly
This helps the filling thicken and prevents spilling. -

Serve warm
The contrast with ice cream is everything.
