Hi Everyone! I hope you all had a fun and safe New Years! Do you all indulge in New Years resolutions? Not me. Why? Because I’m realistic. I know even if I tell myself that I’m giving up diet coke or will force myself to yoga 5 times a week…I know it’s not going to happen, so why put myself through all the fuss? I’ll do my usual dress up for yoga and end up sitting on the couch to catch up on housewives and continue to order menu items I know I shouldn’t because my willpower just doesn’t exist.For those of you who have made New Years resolutions and plan on keeping them, I applaud you. For those of you like me, here’s an awesome dessert recipe that’s also super simple to put together. When the end of summer hits I tend to go on a berry binge and freeze and preserve as many berries possible. This is a great time to take advantage of some of those frozen berries. These mini galettes are great to have in the morning with your coffee or at night, slightly warmed with a bowl of vanilla ice cream. Happy New Years! Now lets start it right by forgetting the diets and baking these awesome sweets, okay?

Mini Blueberry Galettes
INGREDIENTS
cream cheese crust
- 1 cup all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 4 ounces cold cream cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
filling
- 8 ounces fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground clove
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Place butter and cream cheese into the bowl with the flour mixture and cut together until fully incorporated. The mixture should be evenly grainy.
- Add water and vinegar and knead together until the mixture comes together and a smooth dough forms, about 2 minutes.
- Pat the dough into a disc, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Place the ingredients for the filling into a mixing bowl and gently stir together until well combined and the blueberries are well coated.
- Once the dough has chilled, place it onto a lightly floured surface and roll out until ¼ inch thick. Using a 2 ½ to 3 inch circle cutter cut out as many circles possible, about 14.
- Re-roll the scraps and make more circles.
- Whisk together the egg and water and brush a thin layer over each disc. Place 2 teaspoons of the filling into the center of each disc of dough and fold the sides towards the center, until all the sides have been tucked in.
- Brush the tops of the dough with egg wash and sprinkle with a small amount of sugar.
- Place the mini galettes onto a baking sheet, lined with parchment, and bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow the glaettes to cool slightly before serving.

These are so cute! Could you substitute the crust with ready-made puff pastry?
A year ago I hated Blueberries…but once i started baking with them…i’m in love. I can’t wait to try these. Maybe I can change it with a mixed berry twist. I love mixing them all together. If i blog this i’ll def link it back!
Those are adorable! I think I’d eat four or five at a time… YUM!
This looked so cute! I tried to make them last week using frozen blueberries, and following these directions step-by-step. They did not turn out well :( The problem lied in the crust. It never stayed folded up. What did I do wrong? My crust was very cold when it went into the oven, but when they came out, they looked like half-cooked mini pancakes with blueberries on top. Any suggestions? Anyone else have success?
Hi Allison! It’s a bummer about the galettes. Were the edges of your galettes pinched together securely after they were folded? Since these galettes are so mini, I like to use extra pressure to seal the folded edges together to make sure they don’t burst open and cause the pancake effect you ended up having.
i’m in love with how simple and elegant this recipe looks and
totally scrumptious :3 i will be making these ASAP. thanks (:
Love the bite size galette idea. Why is it that I can always eat more bite size-food than I would with full-size portions with out feeling like a pig?
These galettes are just so adorable! I love how delicate they look – not to mention delish. :)
No resolutions!!!! You are a girl after my own heart :)
Ha I love this post! My sort-of resolution this year is to have more adventures. Totally doesn’t rule out delicious calorific snacking!
These look incredible. Gosh, I love tiny food. :)
Oh. My. Goodness! These are lovely! And perfectly sized for guilt free snacking. :D
My hubby fell in love with my standard sized gallettes years ago. I sent him your link and he said, “You could SO do that! Heck, you could do that today!” followed shortly after with, “You _will_ be making them soon right?” which included the sad puppy eyes. I’m making him wait until tomorrow. lol
Thank you so much for the delightful recipe!
Hello!
Lovely words and lovely mini galettes !
Happy new years !
I will try them :)
Catarina
Too cute!
I resolve to make and eat THESE!!!!
Oh gosh, I love blueberries and wish I could have some of these galettes right now. Bookmarked!
those look so cute and yummy! love this idea :)
I usually resolve not to have any resolutions. :)
From one realist to another, thank you! These look really delicious.
Added this onto my things to bake for this year, thank you!
I usually have a strict no resolutions policy in my life, but I just may have to resolve to make these… YUM!
I was all set on eating kale and brussels sprouts and you had to show me cream cheese crust. Regardless, I love those baby galettes. I love the gold pattern in that napkin (tea towel?), too.
No resolutions; more pie. Thanks.
I make my resolutions very general…I get a lot of leeway that way ;) One of them will definitely be to make more sweet treats like these galettes!
Agreed – resolutions are a crock. If you want to do something, then you should do it because you want to, not because it’s January 1st. And on that note – one should never want to give up treats as cute as these. Happy New Year to you, ladies!
I’m SO with you. Resolute Schmesolute.
Yum!
