We’re all loved up on Raspberry Heart Galette! Valentines or galentines? This recipe covers all bases!

Difficulty Beginner

Category

Christmas

Fruit Type Raspberries

Prep Time25 mins

Cook Time30 minsT

Total Time55 mins

Ingredients

375 g Keeling’s raspberries3 punnets

1 tbsp caster sugar

Squeeze of lemon

1 packet of shortcrust pastrythawed if bought frozen

1 tbsp flour

1 eggbeaten

Handful flaked almonds

Directions

1

Place raspberries in a medium sized bowl then sprinkled over caster sugar and squeeze over some lemon juice. Stir with a fork so that some of the raspberries are broken up, but still maintaining plenty of whole ones. Set aside.

2

Pre-heat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan assisted and place a flat baking sheet or overturned tray in the oven to pre-heat.

3

Roll out chilled shortcrust pastry on a floured surface to about 5mm thick then transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into a large heart, discarding the trimmed pieces of pastry.

4

Sprinkle the flour over the middle of the pastry, this will help thicken the juices while baking, then tip out the raspberries on top and spread out over the pastry in an even layer, but keep a 4-5cm border around the edges.

5

Fold the pastry border up and over the filling, shaping the galette into a heart as you fold the edges over, until you’re back where you started, crimping the pastry together where the folds meet to help them stick.

6

Brush the pastry border with beaten egg and sprinkle with flaked almonds.

7

Place the tray directly on top of the hot tray already in the oven and bake until pastry is golden, 30-35 minutes.

8

Remove from the oven and leave to stand for about 5-10 minutes before serving with scoops of ice-cream or dollops of whipped cream while still warm.
