If you have never made a galette which is a term used in French cuisine to designate various types of flat round or freeform crusty cakes, then you are in for a treat. 

Most people would agree and say this galette tastes just like cherry pie, however is a bit more light and flaky.

Served with a Chocolate Cherry Syrup that is sure appease those with a sweet tooth. Serve to your friends and family and watch them be in awe that you made it yourself from scratch.

I absolutely love cherries and come summer when they are in season and ripe, I like to eat them by them by the pounds. Packed full of antioxidants and fiber they are just too good to not enjoy fresh all summer long. 

I’m always finding new ways to cook with them too and so you can find a few cherry recipes on this site for sure.

If you are checking this recipe out and there not in season where you are, then you can definitely use the pre pitted frozen ones too that most of the grocers carry. 

For this recipe you are just filling and folding over to create the most delicious dessert, without all the hassle of a typical pie.

 

You will need about 3 cups of fresh cherries! One premade butter puff pastry, sugar and olive oil.

Place 2 1/2 cups of pitted cherries inside the Butter Puff Pastry like so

And then simply fold over all the sides

Sprinkle with white sugar or drizzle with maple syrup and bake at 375 for 35 minutes 

Just make sure the cherries are defrosted fully before making this recipe if you choose the frozen variety. 

While the galette is cooking in the oven, you will simply reduce a few pitted cherries on the stove top with some chocolate chips to create the perfect glaze. 

Serve the glaze warm alongside this gallette and you will be in Cherry Chocolate Heaven!

Flaky, sweet and a bit tart this is sure to cure your sweet tooth!

And by all means go ahead and serve with some whip cream… so good!
