Berry Galette

Craving dessert one night, I turned to Blog Aid: Recipes for Haiti for some inspiration. I ended up making a variation of the Blueberry Galette by Julie Van Rosendal (www.dinnerwithjulie.com).

Her recipe is lovely, but I didn't have everything that the recipe called for (and was too lazy to go to the store), so I had to improvise:
  • frozen Trader Joe's pie crust
  • frozen (slightly thawed) mixed berries and blueberries
  • no lemon, butter, egg or sugar (for the sparkly crust)
  • flour (instead of cornstarch)
  • powdered sugar instead of granulated (that's all I had, sadly)
Despite the liberal modifications, it really turned out quite delicious. It's worth regularly keeping a frozen pie crust and frozen berries on hand for a pretty quick, delicious dessert.
