How to Make Blueberry Galette Tart
This blueberry dessert is easy to prepare in just five minutes, not counting baking time.
Here's How to Make the Blueberry Galette
First, a half an hour or so before you plan to start making the blueberry pie, take the pie crust out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature. This will make it more pliable and easier to unroll and handle.
At the same time, take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator and allow it to soften on the counter.
Second, whip the cream cheese with a hand-held mixer until perfectly smooth. Then mix in the sugar and vanilla. Put the pie crust in a pie plate and spread out the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Third, spread the blueberry preserves over the cream cheese.
The preserves don't have to be spread out to the edges, and it is perfectly okay to swirl the blueberry preserves in with the cream cheese filling.
Fourth, top the blueberry preserves with fresh blueberries.
You really can't go wrong with blueberries on top of blueberries. Because, fresh blueberries add a pop of color to the dessert, not to mention a delicious fresh blueberry flavor.
Finally, prior to baking the galette fold the edges of the pie crust over.
There isn't a special way to do it, but take a look at the photo of how I folded the edges over to get an idea of how easy it is to do.
Once this step is done, the Blueberry Galette is ready to bake. If you want to add an egg wash to the pie crust, this would be the time to do it. It's not a mandatory step, but it can add a nice golden color to the crust.
Now, put the galette in the oven and bake it up. Simple as pie.
This recipe for Blueberry Galette is so delicious. Serve it on it's own or add homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to the top.
