Chocolate Strawberry Galette is a dessert that combines rustic charm with indulgent flavor, creating a treat that is both elegant and approachable. With its flaky pastry, juicy strawberries, and rich chocolate, it’s perfect for summer gatherings, cozy evenings, or anytime you want a dessert that feels special without being fussy.
The base of the galette is a buttery, flaky pastry that bakes to golden perfection. Its delicate layers provide a tender, crisp texture that contrasts beautifully with the juicy, sweet strawberries. The fruit filling is enhanced with a touch of sugar to bring out its natural sweetness, while a splash of lemon juice adds brightness and balances the flavors.
Chocolate takes this galette to the next level. Chunks or shavings of high-quality chocolate melt slightly as the galette bakes, blending with the strawberries to create a luscious, gooey texture. The combination of tart berries and sweet, creamy chocolate makes each bite deeply satisfying and indulgent.
One of the joys of a galette is its rustic, free-form shape. The edges of the pastry are folded over the filling, giving it a casual, homemade look that makes it feel inviting and approachable. A light egg wash brushed over the crust before baking gives it a beautiful sheen and golden color, while a sprinkle of sugar adds a subtle crunch.
Chocolate Strawberry Galette can be enjoyed warm, straight from the oven, or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra touch of decadence.
This dessert is perfect for those who want something impressive without complicated steps. Its combination of buttery pastry, fresh strawberries, and rich chocolate hits all the right notes – sweet, tart, crisp, and gooey.
Chocolate Strawberry Galette proves that simple ingredients, treated with care, can create something extraordinary. Each slice is a delightful mix of textures and flavors, making it a dessert that looks beautiful, tastes irresistible, and leaves everyone asking for seconds.

Yum! 😍 Just what I needed for dessert tonight. Thanks for sharing!
So glad you like it! It’s super easy to make and soooo good! 🍓🍫
This was sooo good! The chocolate and strawberries go together perfectly. 5 stars!
I totally agree! This combination is unbeatable! 🍓🍫
I made this for my family and everyone loved it! Super easy and looks fancy. Will definitely make again!
I’m so glad to hear that! It’s a crowd-pleaser for sure. Great job on making it!
It sounds good, but isn’t pre-made crust kind of cheating? I prefer making everything from scratch!
Tried it but the pie crust didn’t cook right. It’s really tricky to get the timing right. I’m not sure if I did something wrong…
I think the timing can be tricky! Maybe it just needs a few more minutes in the oven next time? Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us!
Ugh, I hate when that happens! Maybe you rolled it too thick or somethin’? Just try again, I’m sure it’ll turn out better!
Honestly, how can you bake a galette and call it fancy? It’s just strawberries and chocolate! I’m not impressed.
Made this last night—so good! The chocolate chips melt into the strawberry filling in the best way. Crust came out super flaky even with a store-bought crust.
That sounds amazing—chocolate + strawberry in a galette is such a good combo. I love how the chips melt right into the filling.
Two words: too sweet 😅. If you’re not into sweet desserts, I’d cut sugar a bit or use less chocolate.
This galette is amazing! The strawberries are so sweet with the choc! Will make again!
This galette is AMAZING! I added some whipped cream on top, and it took it to the next level. Will make again for sure!
I don’t know…it seems too sweet for me. Chocolate and strawberries? Really? I prefer just plain strawberries.
I totally agree! The whipped cream addition sounds delicious. I can’t wait to try it that way!
Made this last night—so good! The strawberries got jammy and the chocolate chips basically melt into little surprises. Loved how easy it was with the pre-made crust.
This recipe is too complicated. Who has time to roll the crust and stuff? Just buy a pie, it’s easier.
400°F for 40 minutes felt long for my oven—crust got close to too brown. I’d start checking at 30–35 min next time.
Uhh, why didn’t you use fresh chocolate instead of chips? It woulda tasted better! Also, I had some left over blueberries, sweetened them to go in too, and it was noice.
Looks yummy! Can’t wait to try! 😍✨
Ok, I followed this recipe and it was a total flop! My family said it tasted funny! Not sure what went wrong, but it wasn’t great.
Sorry to hear that! Did you use fresh strawberries? Sometimes frozen can change the flavor.
Pretty simple. My 6 year old helped me make it! Great recipe for kids.
That’s amazing! Cooking with kids is so much fun! My daughter loves strawberries too! Did you let her sprinkle the chocolate chips? 😄
Really? It’s just a pie with strawberries. Kids can make messes though. Hope your kitchen’s okay! 😂
Not gonna lie, I was skeptical about putting chocolate in a strawberry dessert… but wow. It tastes like a fancy sundae. Would definitely make again.
Anyone tried this with frozen strawberries? My fresh ones went bad. 😩
I followed the recipe, but my pie crust burned. Not sure what went wrong. My oven might be a bit off…
I totally get you! Ovens can be tricky. Maybe try lowering the temp next time? Had the same issue before, it was so frustrating!
I don’t know about mixing chocolate with strawberries like that… seems off to me. 🤔
I don’t think chocolate’s right for fruit desserts… doesn’t seem healthy. 😕
Chocolate and strawberries are a classic combo! Give it a try, you might be surprised. 🍓🍫
I followed the recipe but my filling was a little watery even after 40 minutes. Maybe I sliced the strawberries too thick? Still tasty though—nice flavor combo.
Why do people even like strawberries and chocolate? I prefer melons or apples! Just never understood it. :/
400°F is 200°C for sure? I always mix that up 😅 Either way, it turned out alright. I might increase the vanilla too, because I can’t taste it much.
Yep—400°F is about 200°C (specifically ~204°C), so you’re not far off 😄 And I totally agree with adding more vanilla; strawberries + chocolate can taste “quiet” sometimes.
ok but way too much sugar. My kids liked it but I think that’s bcos they love choclate. Next time I will reduce it.
Wow, looks fancy! I can’t believe it’s so easy. Might impress my friends at the BBQ!
Why is it called a galette if it’s like… kinda just a pie? lol. Anyway I liked it, but my crust cracked a bit when I folded it.
Made this last night—super easy for a weeknight dessert. The chocolate + strawberry combo is chef’s kiss, and the crust edges browned up perfectly at 40 minutes.
Sounds good, but I feel like 1 sheet pie crust might get soggy with all that fruit. Did you drain the strawberries or did you bake until it looked thick?
Love this combo! I did it exactly as written and my crust also browned around the 40-minute mark. The chocolate bits melting into the strawberries is so good 😍
I used dark chocolate chips and added a pinch of salt to the strawberry mix—wow. Way more depth. Egg wash edges also gave a great color.
Yummy! The combination of chocolate and strawberries is fantastic! Who knew it would be so easy! 10/10!
Using premade crust feels like cheating… but it does save time. Taste was good but I prefer making from scratch.
I totally get that! Making it from scratch always feels more rewarding, but hey, sometimes you gotta cut corners! 😅
I tried it but my crust got burnt. Maybe I should’ve watched it more carefully. 😔
I followed the steps but my filling was super runny. Maybe I should’ve halved the strawberries or baked longer? I dunno, I’m not a “galette person.”
Not worth it. The steps are too many for something that should be easy. Just stick to regular pie.
This is a great recipe! Added some nuts and it turned out perfect. My kids loved it! 🥳
This is cute and all, but 2 cups strawberries feels like not enough for that crust size? I wanted more filling. Also the 2-inch border is oddly specific.
Totally get what you mean—2 cups sounds a little shy, but I think the cornstarch helps thicken it and keep it from running. If you want more “filling,” I’d just add another half cup and keep the sugar/cornstarch ratios similar.
400°F for 40 min made my crust a little too dark on the edges. Next time I’ll tent it with foil. Also I didn’t have vanilla, used almond extract and it was weirdly good.
Perfect for summer! I didn’t have chocolate chips but used chunks of snickers instead. Woah, game changer! 🍫🍓
Snickers instead of chocolate chips? That sounds wild! I gotta try it, but I hope it doesn’t mess up the whole vibe of the galette. 🍫🍓
Made this last weekend—so good. The strawberries get all jammy and the chocolate chips are a fun surprise. Crust came out perfectly golden. 10/10 would bake again!
This looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it! 🍓🍫
I’m skeptical about putting chocolate chips in with strawberries—won’t they melt weird or burn? Mine melted fine, but I might lower the heat next time.
I made this for a party and everyone loved it! Will make it again for sure.
The egg wash really makes it shine! Great tip! 🥚✨
I dunno, do we really need the egg wash? Seems like just an extra step to me. 🤔
Right? The egg wash is a game changer! Makes everything so shiny! 😍
So easy. Like, dangerously easy. I did burn the edges a tiny bit though… but still ate it all 😅
The pre-made crust saved me, but I think 400°F is too hot. My edges got dark before the center looked set. Still edible, just not as pretty.
Not sure about the ratios. 2 cups strawberries with only 1/4 cup sugar felt a little tart to me, so I added an extra 1-2 tbsp sugar. Still tasty, just adjusted.
Where’s the lemon? I feel like strawberries need lemon to pop. Without it, it tastes flat to me, but maybe my brand of chocolate was too sweet.
You’re not wrong—lemon would definitely brighten strawberries. This recipe doesn’t include it, so if your chocolate is on the sweeter side, the whole thing can feel a bit flat. Next time I’d add a squeeze of lemon juice (or zest) to the strawberry mix.
5 stars!!! Lol. I added more chocolate chips and it turned out like dessert pizza.
The combo of chocolate and strawberry is overrated imo. Tasted fine, but I didn’t get any distinct chocolate flavor—more like chocolatey undertone. Might use more chips next time.
Easy recipe, ingredients are mostly what I already had. However 40 minutes felt too long for my oven—edges got dark before the middle looked set. Still tasty though!
Glad it was still tasty! I’ve noticed oven temps vary a lot—mine takes more like 30-35 min. I’d check at the 25-minute mark next time.
Why egg on the edges? I brushed mine and it kinda slid off? Also cornstarch amount seems small? Mine was a bit runny in the center even after baking.
Mine leaked a bit, I think because I didn’t chill the crust long enough. Also I accidentally forgot the vanilla (I know, I know). It was still okay, but not as good as expected.
I forgot to brush the egg on the edges the first time (facepalm), so it wasn’t as shiny. Still delicious though. Next time I’ll follow the steps better.
Not gonna lie, cornstarch in fruit doesn’t always work for me. This one was okay, but I didn’t get that thick filling I wanted. Flavor is still there.
Not sure the 2 tbsp cornstarch is enough for 2 cups strawberries. I love strawberry desserts, but mine leaked out when folding the crust. Next time I’ll increase cornstarch a little.
Cute idea, but my filling was super watery. I followed the measurements, so I’m not sure if my strawberries were extra juicy or if the cornstarch needed more. Still tasty though!
Ugh, watery filling is the worst. With strawberries, I’ve learned some brands are just extra juicy—cornstarch can look like “enough” but still won’t fully thicken. Next time I’d add 1 more tbsp cornstarch or let the galette sit 10–15 min before slicing so it can set.
Maybe your strawberries weren’t fully dry after washing? I always pat them dry and also toss them with sugar + cornstarch first, then wait like 5 min before spreading—less liquid ends up pooling.
Just ok. The crust was too soggy for my taste.
I totally get what you mean! Maybe try baking it a bit longer next time? That might help the crust!
400°F for 40 minutes was perfect for me. The crust got golden and crisp, and the strawberries weren’t totally mushy. Easy dessert for people who don’t bake much.
I was skeptical about mixing chocolate with strawberries, but wow. The vanilla + chocolate combo is legit. Mine still looked a little messy, but it tasted amazing.
Honestly? The egg wash on the crust border is the move. It gave me that glossy, golden look. Loved the contrast with the fruity filling.
This is dangerously good. I used dark chocolate chips and it tasted like a fancy bakery dessert. Would totally make again for guests.
I thought the chocolate chips would melt into sadness but nope—so good! The vanilla really makes the strawberries pop. Will make again for sure.
Haha “melt into sadness” is exactly the energy this needs 😂 I’m glad the vanilla + strawberries worked out for you!
This was such a fun twist on a classic fruit tart. The chocolate chips melted into little pockets of goodness. 400°F for 40 min gave me a nicely golden crust—would make again!
The combo of chocolate + strawberries is always a win. I used dark chocolate chips and added a pinch of salt to the filling—really leveled it up.
Yes!! Chocolate + strawberries is such an easy win. The pinch of salt is exactly the kind of upgrade I’d try—totally makes the flavors pop.
Wait… salt in the filling? I’m not sure that’s necessary, but dark chocolate chips do sound better than milk. I might try it next time, but I’d be scared it’ll mess with the sweet-tart vibe 😅
Not gonna lie, mine leaked a lot even with the 2-inch border. Still tasted great though—maybe my strawberries were wetter than the recipe assumed.
This turned out way better than I expected—crispy crust and the strawberry-chocolate combo is honestly dangerous. I did need to bake 5–10 minutes longer because my oven runs cool, but it was perfect after that.
I was skeptical about chocolate chips in a fruit galette, but it works! Next time I’ll toss the strawberries for a little longer so the juices thicken up right.
Chocolate strawberries yesss!
Chocolate + strawberries is such a winning combo 😍 This galette looks dangerously good!
Whole thing was gone in one sitting. My kids asked if I bought it from a bakery 😂. Sweetness was just right.
I would swap the sugar for less—my strawberries were already sweet and it ended up kind of cloying. Chocolate was good, but the filling could’ve used more balance.
This is exactly the kind of dessert I can do on a weeknight—minimal fuss, big reward. Pre-made crust saves the day.
The idea is great, but why use a pre-made crust when you can make your own? Also, 40 min at 400°F feels a tad long—mine got too dark before the center set.
Not gonna lie, the egg wash idea saved it. The crust edges looked way more polished. Also, I used dark chocolate chips and it was a little more intense (in a good way).
I was worried the cornstarch might be too much, but it actually thickened the strawberry juices nicely. Next time I’ll toss in a pinch of salt because I like my sweets more “grown-up.”
That’s awesome it thickened up so well! I add the tiniest pinch of salt too—it really makes the strawberries taste brighter, not “salty.”
I dunno, 2 tbsp cornstarch seems like a lot for 2 cups strawberries… but I guess if your juices set right then it’s fine. Did it get gummy at all?
Easy and looks fancy! I served it warm with vanilla ice cream and everyone acted like it came from a bakery. The egg wash makes the edges look so pretty.
Honestly I didn’t measure the sugar/cornstarch right (cuz I was multitasking) and it still tasted good. But follow the recipe if you want it to set!
Made this last night—so good! The strawberry + chocolate combo is honestly dangerous. My crust browned a little early so I tented with foil for the last 10 minutes. Would absolutely make again.
Yesss the strawberry + chocolate is dangerously good 😄 Glad the foil save worked for your crust—makes sense with every oven being a little different!
I thought 40 minutes would be too long, but it browned nicely. Only thing—my filling bubbled over and made a small mess. Put a tray under it if you can.
Good call—bubbling over is super normal with fruit + cornstarch. I’ll definitely start using a tray next time, thanks!
My filling was kinda runny even after baking. I followed the cornstarch amount but maybe my strawberries were super juicy. Might try macerating them longer before baking next time.
I’m not a baker, but I followed this and it worked. I totally forgot to chill the crust first (oops) and it still browned up fine. Sweet, chocolatey, and not too complicated.
Pretty tasty but I think 40 minutes was a bit long for my oven. The crust got more dark than golden. Next time I’ll start checking at 30-35 min.
