These Cherry Jam and Almond Galettes are a perfect quick and easy sweet treat. I use ready-made puff pastry when I make these tasty tarts. Using ready-made pastry cuts down on the preparation time. Nutty frangipane provides richness and texture.
To make these galettes, take some ready-made puff pastry and cut it into circles for the pastry base. Make a nutty frangipane from ground almonds and add a jam and cherry filling to the frangipane and bake. Cool for a few minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream. Yum!
To make Cherry Jam and Almond Galettes, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 390 °F.
Using a rolling pin, roll out the pastry to ¼-inch thick. Cut out 4 pastry circles, each about 5½ inches in diameter. Freeze the unused pastry to use another day. Score a border ¾ inch from the edge of the pastry. Place the pastry discs on a non-stick baking sheet and brush with beaten egg.
Bake the pastry circles for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently press the middles down so you have a pastry shell. Leave to cool.
Beat 70 grams of butter and 70 grams of sugar until pale. Add 2 eggs to the mixture one at a time. Beat in ½ a teaspoon of vanilla, 70 grams of ground almonds and 20 grams of flour. Mix well.
Spoon the frangipane mixture onto the pastry shells.
Mix 4 tablespoons of cherry jam and 200 grams of pitted cherries and spoon the mixture over the frangipane.
Bake for 15 more minutes until the pastry is golden and the frangipane sets and is light golden.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool for a few minutes.
Serve these delicious galettes with vanilla ice cream.

Heavenly almond galettes thoughly enjoyed them.
French desserts always tend to be more fruity than the rest this one was yummmmy.
Kinda chewy and sticks to your teeth but not a bad dessert.
Replaced the almonds for walnuts and used brown sugar instead of caster was extremely delicious.
