Blueberry Pistachio Galette

We love this blueberry pistachio galette! A pistachio pie crust filled with fresh blueberries and baked until juicy and bubbly and hot, topped with vanilla ice cream. Summer is the best!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup salted, roasted pistachios, plus more for topping
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ½ cup ice cold water
  • 1 ½ cups cold unsalted butter cut into pieces, 3 sticks or 24 tablespoons
  • 1 egg + a few drops of water beaten together, for brushing
  • 3 cups blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons chopped pistachios, plus more for topping
  • coarse sugar, optional
  • vanilla ice cream. for serving

Instructions 

  • NOTE: this makes TWO galette crusts! I highly suggest following this recipe and making two - stick one in the freezer so you have it when needed. You can freeze it for 3 months!
  • Add the flour, pistachios and sugar to a food processor and pulse just until combined. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vinegar and water. Add the cold butter pieces into the food processor and pulse until small coarse crumbs remain. Sprinkle the water/egg mixture over the flour and pulse again until the dough comes together.
  • Remove the dough with your hands and divide it in half. Form each half into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. This dough makes enough for 2 galette crusts! One can go right in the freezer to save.
  • Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. Freeze one of the other balls of dough!
  • After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the blueberries in a large bowl. Stir together the sugar, cornstarch , lemon juice and salt. Pour it over the fruit and toss well.
  • Remove the crust from the fridge. Roll the crust into a “rustic” shape – like a big circle with ragged edges, until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Layer the berries in the center leaving a 2-inch+ border of crust. Once the fruit is layered, fold the crust over top of it. Brush the crust with the beaten egg wash.
  • Sprinkle some chopped pistachios on top. You can also add on some coarse sugar if you wish!
  • Bake the galette until the crust is golden and the fruit is syrupy, about 40 to 45 minutes.The blueberries may burst a bit. Let it cool slightly before serving with ice cream and chopped pistachios.
