Ingredient Notes:

• Store bought pie crust makes this mixed berry galette incredibly easy to make! You can find pie crust in the frozen foods section of your grocery store.
• This recipe uses blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, but you can use any combination of fruit for your mixed berry tart!
• Corn starch helps the juices from the berries from running.
• Demerara or turbinado sugar is sprinkled on the crust before baking for added crunch and sweetness.

See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Substitutions & Variations

• Switch up the fruits using whatever is in season or whatever you are in the mood for! Fresh or frozen fruit will work. Just make sure the total amount of fruit is around 2.5 cups.
• If you prefer homemade crust over store-bought, try an all-butter pie crust!
• If you want to get fancy with it, you can separate the fruits to make different designs. For the 4th of July, I separated the blueberries and blackberries from the strawberries and raspberries and made it look like an American flag! It would also be fun to do an ombre design with the different berries!
• Serve the warm galette with ice cream, caramel or chocolate sauce, or whipped cream.

How to Make a Mixed Berry Galette

Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix the berries, brown sugar, lemon juice and corn starch.

Step 2: Spread the berry mixture over the center of the pie crust, leaving a 1 inch border around the edge.

Step 3: Gently but firmly, fold the crust edges over the fruit. Freeze the galette (unwrapped) while the oven preheats.

Step 4: Once the galette is firm, mix the egg yolk and water and brush over the edges of the dough. Sprinkle with demerara sugar, and bake at 375°F until golden and bubbly.

Make Ahead Option

This mixed berry galette can be assembled ahead of time and baked up to 1 week later! For this option, you'll want to store the galette in a freezer-safe container after adding the berries and folding the edges.

Once you're ready to bake it, preheat your oven to 375°F and apply the egg wash and coarse sugar to its edges. It may take a few extra minutes to bake due to the extended freeze period.

Expert Baking Tips

1. Stir the berry mixture really well so that there aren't dry spots of brown sugar or corn starch anywhere.
2. Make sure the crust is very cold and firm before brushing with the egg wash so it holds its shape while baking.
3. If using frozen fruit, do not thaw it ahead of time.
4. The galette may take longer to bake if using frozen fruit.
