Indulge in the Flavors of Summer with Spiced Pineapple Galette

Today’s Unique Dessert: Spiced Pineapple Galette

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a special dessert recipe that combines the sweet tanginess of pineapple with warm spices for a unique and delicious treat. This Spiced Pineapple Galette is a perfect way to enjoy the flavors of summer in a cozy, comforting dessert. Let’s dive right into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 500g diced pineapple
• 100g sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp allspice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 20g cornstarch
• 50g cubed butter
• 1 store-bought pie crust

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• baking sheet
• rolling pin
• knife

I start by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, I combine the diced pineapple, sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, salt, and cornstarch. I toss everything together until the pineapple is coated evenly with the spices and sugar.

Next, I roll out the pie crust on the prepared baking sheet and spoon the spiced pineapple mixture into the center, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges. Dot the top of the pineapple with the cubed butter to add richness to the filling.

Now, it’s time to fold the edges of the pie crust over the pineapple, creating a rustic galette shape. I like to pleat the edges as I go to give it a charming homemade look. Brush the crust with a little milk or beaten egg for a golden finish.

Pop the Spiced Pineapple Galette into the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. The aromas of cinnamon and ginger will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist sneaking a taste before it’s done!

Once the galette is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. This dessert is best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a sprinkle of black pepper to the pineapple filling before folding it into the galette. The subtle heat of the pepper pairs beautifully with the sweet pineapple and spices, adding an unexpected twist to the dessert.

I hope you give this Spiced Pineapple Galette a try and make it your own with your favorite spices or toppings. It’s a versatile recipe that’s perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply indulging in a cozy night in. Enjoy!
