Cherry Cream Cheese Galette

Cherry cream cheese galette is a delightful dessert that combines the best of both worlds: a flaky, buttery pastry and a rich, creamy filling, all topped with sweet, juicy cherries. This rustic dessert is perfect for summer, when cherries are at their peak, offering a fresh and vibrant twist on traditional pies. Whether served for a casual weeknight treat or as a stunning centerpiece for a gathering, this galette is both easy to make and incredibly satisfying.

The galette dough is simple yet irresistible, made with cold butter and just the right amount of flour to create a tender, golden crust. Unlike a traditional pie, a galette has a free-form shape that makes it easier to assemble, adding to its charm. The dough is rolled out into a circle and then folded up around the edges, creating a rustic look while still holding in the creamy filling and juicy cherries.

The filling starts with a creamy base of cream cheese, lightly sweetened with sugar and flavored with vanilla. This smooth and tangy cream cheese layer serves as the perfect backdrop for the star of the show – fresh cherries. Pitted and halved, the cherries are spread over the cream cheese filling, their sweetness complementing the tangy richness of the cream cheese.

Once baked, the galette develops a crispy, golden crust, and the cherries soften into a jammy, flavorful topping. The cream cheese filling stays perfectly creamy, providing a balance to the sweetness of the cherries. For an extra touch of elegance, you can dust the galette with powdered sugar before serving or drizzle it with a bit of honey for added sweetness.

Cherry cream cheese galette is best served warm or at room temperature, making it a perfect dessert for any occasion. With its irresistible combination of creamy, sweet, and tangy flavors, this galette is sure to become a new favorite in your summer baking repertoire.
