Blueberry Mango Galette

This past summer {thanks to the New York Times} was the first time I discovered galettes, a mouthwatering cross between a pastry, pie, tart and cake all in one. And by discovered, I mean I made one myself. I used some sweet peaches we had and found how simple it was to make a delicious dessert from start to enjoying in under an hour.

Since then, fruit galettes have been one of my go-to desserts. They’re relatively forgiving, comforting and can be filled with just about anything you wish {traditionally galettes were a savory dish, but now are often served with a sweet filling}. Plus, I love a homemade dessert that is served warm and can be accompanied with ice cream. Sold.

This past weekend, champagne mangos were featured at our neighborhood Whole Foods, so I picked up a couple and matched it with blueberries we had at home. There are lots of recipes out there, but I’m fearless in the kitchen and pull together bits of recipes to make up my own. Instead of a pie crust {I usually use a pre-made one}, I went with a flaky puff pastry for a lighter feeling. I recommend it wholeheartedly for your next gathering, and for my UK friends hosting their mums for Mother’s Day this weekend, you’ll make her proud.
