Rustic Raspberry Ricotta Galette Recipe – A deliciously simple dessert that’s both romantic and impressive!
Rustic Raspberry Ricotta Galette Recipe
A Deliciously Simple Dessert
The first thing you may be asking is, “What the heck is a galette?” A galette is similar to a tart. Like a tart, a galette can be sweet or savory, but where a tart is usually made in a tart pan, a galette is free-form. You can learn more about Tarts vs. Galettes here.
I wanted to make a simple dessert for Valentine’s Day that Luke and I could share. Since I love raspberries, and they are red, this Raspberry Ricotta Galette sounded perfect. The complete idea popped into my head as I roamed the aisles of my neighborhood Trader Joe’s store. I began tossing items into my cart.
This would make a tasty addition to any meal, and its beauty lends itself nicely as a romantic dessert.
Let’s get baking…
Ingredients:
Pie Crust, Ricotta Cheese, Raspberry Jam, Honey, Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, Heavy Cream, Fresh Raspberries,
Directions:
The rustic galette is very easy to put together. First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and layout your pie crust.
Stir together the Ricotta cheese and honey
Spread Ricotta and honey mixture on the pie crust leaving a wide edge for folding. Top Ricotta with raspberry jam. Fold edge over the top, leaving the center open, and pinch together as needed.
Give the top crust edge a cream wash and dust with sugar and chocolate if desired.
Bake the galette at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. After baking, allow galette to rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack for cooling.
Make the ganache.
Pipe whipped cream around the center crust edge. I piped a heart in the center of the galette since it was Valentine’s Day. Top with fresh raspberries, and drizzle with ganache.
Cut and serve.
Enjoy!
Be creative with your galette and try different flavor combinations.

- GARNISHING THE GALETTE:
- Garnish with a ring of whipped cream and fresh raspberries. Drizzle with ganache.

I never heard of a galette before. When you mentioned ricotta cheese I could only imagine lasagna, that’s the only thing we use it for, that and spinach with ricotta cheese shells. But for a dessert, that is something new. Thank you for the recipe.
Jennifer, you will love it. Ricotta cheese is also used in a lot of cheesecakes. 🙂
This looks wonderful! I hate being too fussy in the kitchen and free-form is my style 🙂
Erlene, this galette is so easy, and super delicious. You will love it!
Interesting combination, but you had me at chocolate LOL! I’m not much of a cooker, but I do like to bake, so I may try this recipe. I have never made a tart before, so I wouldn’t know the difference between the two, but I would like to learn. Thanks for sharing 🙂
This is a super simple way to start… And yummy too!
It sounds and looks delicious! Any dessert with cheeses and fruit has got to be amazing!
We don’t have a Trader Joe’s in my neck of the woods, I wish we did! I have to go there when I visit my daughter in Atlanta.
I’m not sure I could survive without my Trader Joe’s … LOL this really is a tasty recipe. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
