Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Puff pastry — Ensure that the puff pastry is thawed properly before rolling it out. This will help achieve a flaky and crispy texture in the final galettes.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate over the galettes before serving.
  • Experiment with different flavors by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of almond extract to the cream filling.
  • Serve the galettes warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, you can use a combination of milk and cream instead of heavy cream in the filling.
  • Store any leftover galettes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
