Toasted Almond Cream Galette

Toasted Almond Cream Galette

This toasted almond cream galette is a French-style pastry with a rich, buttery dough and a fragrant almond filling. It is a great choice for celebrations or a weekend bake when you want something elegant without complex shaping.

The toasted almond meal deepens the flavor, and chilling both the dough and filling keeps the layers neat as the galette bakes.

Why This Recipe Works

Creaming the butter and sugars creates a tender dough, while the toasted almond meal adds nutty depth to the filling. Baking at a moderate temperature helps the galette color evenly without over-browning the edges.

Ingredients Overview

Use plain flour for the dough and make sure the almond meal is fully cooled before mixing. The vanilla keeps the filling balanced, and a simple egg glaze adds shine.

How to Make It

Mix the dough just until it comes together, then chill so it rolls cleanly. Prepare the almond cream and chill it until firm enough to pipe. Roll, fill, seal, and glaze the galette, then bake until the top is deeply golden and the filling is set.

Tips and Storage

Store leftovers airtight at room temperature for 1 day or in the fridge for 3 days. Rewarm slices in a low oven for 5 to 8 minutes to refresh the crust.
