All Things Sweet Recipe

Sweetheart Strawberry Galette

Strawberry Galette

Valentine’s Day is only a week away, and what better way to your Valentine’s heart than through their stomach!  I have plenty of inspiration for feeding your sweetheart on February 14th as I join together with some blogging friends as we share our favorite Valentine inspired recipes.  

Starting with my Sweetheart Strawberry Galette that is so incredibly easy to make, even if you have never baked before, you to can do make this!

Tim and I have been Valentine’s since high school and although we celebrate our love everyday, it is fun to give it some special attention on February 14th.  This doesn’t mean spending a fortune at a fancy restaurant or lavishing each other in gifts.  A leisurely dinner made with love followed by a special dessert makes for a perfect evening away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Sugar sweetened strawberries sit atop toasted ground almonds all wrapped in a delicious buttery pastry, and shaped into a heart is on the menu this year!  

It really is just a simple twist on a the rustic caramel apple tart we all love.  

Making the pastry is my favorite part of this recipe, because nothing says I love you like made by hand. Creamy butter is rubbed into flour, sugar and a pinch of salt all by hand.  A few spoonfuls of ice water bring the dough together.

Strawberry Galette

The best way to roll out pastry dough is on a cold slab of marble, which doesn’t have to be expensive.  I picked up a 12″ by 12″ solid marble floor tile at Home Depot for under $10.  I keep it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator so it is always cold when I need it.  

I use a baking stone lined with a sheet of parchment when baking a galette which makes for nice even golden bottom crust.  

A light brush with some milk and sprinkle of course sugar before you put it in the oven makes for a slightly sweet golden crispy pastry on top.

I even take the time to whip the cream by hand.  Using a large whisk makes it fast work, as the heavy cream and a spoonful of sugar turns into billowy peaks of sweet whipped cream.

Whether you are spending Valentine’s Day with just your sweetheart, or with family and friends who are near and dear to your heart, this strawberry galette is sure to melt their hearts!  

You can find a whole list of Valentine’s inspired recipes by scrolling down below, and I would love to know your favorite way to celebrate Valentine’s day.  Leave me a comment and let me know!

Until next time….

    I love the tip on the marble! I never thought of using it for pie crust but it makes sense! I also love how this is heart shaped and that it has ground almonds hiding beneath the berries!

    Such a pretty dessert that is not too heavy. Would be perfect for an anniversary too. We are big strawberry fans too.
