Finally, bake for thirty minutes or until the crust begins to brown. You can serve this delicious galette either on its own or top it off with some delicious vanilla ice cream.

Let’s get baking!

What Does Lactose Free Mean?

First and foremost, I try my best to incorporate lactose free ingredients in all my recipes. These ingredients can include, butter, milk, cream cheese etc. With that being said, sometimes it is hard to make an entire recipe using ALL lactose free ingredients. For example, my ice cream recipes include, condensed milk- NOT LACTOSE FREE.

Contrary to what some may believe, lactose – free is not the same as dairy free. Lactose – free still contains milk, however, there is a certain component, I believe a type of sugar (I may be wrong) where the lactose is removed from dairy, making it lactose – free. Dairy free on the other hand, contains ZERO milk. Alternatives for dairy free are almond milk, oat milk, soy milk etc. You can learn more about the differences here.

Which Ingredients Are Lactose Free?

Cream Cheese – I used lactose free cream cheese.

Butter – I used Lactantia lactose free butter

Step By Step Instructions:

Step One:

The pie dough!

To create the galette you will need to make the pie dough and chill for an hour or even better, overnight!

I found this pie dough recipe from the book “Book Of Pie” and I swear, it is not only my favourite cookbook, but this pie dough is SEEERIOUSLLY flaky!

In a mixing bowl add flour, salt and sugar. Mix using a whisk until all the clumps have disappeared.

Next, add vegetable shortening and butter. Using a pastry blender incorporate the butter and vegetable shortening into the flour.

Add chilled water, one tbsp. at a time and mix into the batter using the pastry blender. Once you have a smooth dough, create a ball and slice down the middle so you have two pie doughs.

Flatten each round of dough with your hand and wrap each one separately into saran wrap then either chill for at least one hour or overnight. I went with overnight!

When you are ready to roll out your dough, make sure it is thawed out first but still cold.

Step Two:

Cream cheese lemon frosting!

Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add in soft lactose-free butter and whip on high until you get a creamy texture.

Next, Add in lactose-free room temperature cream cheese, salt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest and lemon juice.

Mix then set aside.

Step Three:

Blueberry Filling!

Preheat your oven to 350F

Grease a cookie sheet and add parchment paper on top.

In a mixing bowl, add blueberries, flour, lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar. Give the berries a quick mix then set aside.

Step Four:

Take your thawed pie dough and start rolling it out using a rolling pin.

Once you have a thin flat disc, carefully move your pie dough to your greased cookie sheet and start adding your cream cheese frosting to the middle of the dough.

Next, add your blueberry mix over top of the cream cheese frosting.

Lift the edges of the pie dough and fold into the middle, folding about every 4 inches as you go.

Step Five:

Lastly, in a small bowl add in your egg and 1 tbsp. of milk. Mix until combined.

Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash over your pie crust and place into the oven for 30-40 minutes until the crust is browning and the blueberry filling starts to bubble.

Allow to fully cool before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions?

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh blueberries?

Yes! You can either use fresh or frozen blueberries. Keep in mind that the frozen blueberries will release more moisture causing the galette to be more liquidy. If you are using frozen blueberries, try not to over pack the dough.

How can I prevent the bottom of the galette dough from getting soggy?

To prevent the bottom do the crust from getting soggy, add a sprinkle of flour to the bottom before adding your topping. The dry ingredient will absorb the liquid from the blueberries.

What can I serve the blueberry galette with?

You can serve the blueberry galette either on its own or serve with vanilla ice cream. Be sure to serve the galette warm!
