Tropical Fruit Galette Recipe Ingredients

For the Crust & Base:

• All-purpose flour, for dusting the surface
• 2 refrigerated pie crusts (from 1 14-oz. box)
• 1/2 cup finely chopped roasted macadamia nuts, divided
• 1/2 cup finely chopped coconut chips, divided
• 1/4 cup chopped banana chips

For the Fruit Filling:

• 1 cup fresh pineapple wedges (about 3/4-inch thick)
• 1 cup fresh mango slices (from 2 mangos)
• 1 cup sliced, fresh kiwi (from 3 kiwis)
• 6 Tbsp. powdered sugar

For Finishing:

• 1/2 cup coconut milk, plus more for brushing
• 1/2 tsp. lime zest
• Roasted macadamia nuts, roughly chopped, for garnish
• Coconut chips, for garnish

How To Make Tropical Fruit Galette

1. Create the Double-Layer Crust: Preheat the oven to 425°F. On a lightly floured piece of parchment paper, unroll one pie crust. Sprinkle 1/4 cup each of the finely chopped macadamia nuts and coconut chips evenly over the crust. Unroll the second pie crust and place it directly on top. Lightly dust the top with flour and gently roll the two crusts together to seal them into one 13-inch circle. Slide the crust and parchment paper onto a baking sheet.
2. Add the Nut-Coconut Layer: Sprinkle the chopped banana chips and the remaining 1/4 cup each of macadamia nuts and coconut chips evenly over the crust, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border around the edge.
3. Arrange the Fruit Filling: In a medium bowl, stir together the pineapple, mango, and kiwi. Spread and arrange the fruit evenly over the macadamia-coconut mixture on the crust.
4. Fold and Finish the Galette: Fold the bare edges of the dough up and over the outer edge of the fruit, overlapping and crimping the dough every 3 to 4 inches to create a rustic border. Brush the outer crust lightly with coconut milk.
5. Bake Until Golden: Bake on the middle rack for about 30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is tender.
6. Make the Coconut Drizzle and Serve: While the galette cools on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, whisk together the 1/2 cup of coconut milk, powdered sugar, and lime zest until smooth. Use the parchment paper to transfer the galette to a wire rack to cool for 30 more minutes. Top the galette with the coconut drizzle and garnish with more macadamia nuts and coconut chips before slicing.

Recipe Tips

• What is a galette? A galette is a French term for a free-form, rustic pie. It’s made on a baking sheet without a pie pan, making it much easier and more forgiving than a traditional pie, and perfect for showcasing beautiful fruit.
• How do I prevent a soggy bottom? This recipe has a clever built-in trick! The layer of chopped nuts and banana chips between the crust and the fresh fruit acts as a barrier, absorbing some of the fruit juices and helping to keep the bottom crust crisp.
• Can I use a single pie crust? The double crust with the nut and coconut filling is a key feature that makes this galette special and sturdy. A single crust would work for a smaller, simpler galette, but you would miss out on that delicious extra layer of flavor and texture.
• Can I use other fruits? Absolutely! Other tropical fruits like papaya, star fruit, or passion fruit would be delicious. You could also use stone fruits like peaches or plums.

What To Serve With Tropical Fruit Galette

This vibrant galette is a showstopper on its own, but it’s even more delightful with a simple topping.

• A scoop of vanilla bean or coconut ice cream
• A dollop of fresh whipped cream
• A side of tangy lemon or lime sorbet

How To Store Tropical Fruit Galette

• Room Temperature: This galette is best enjoyed on the day it is made. Store any leftovers loosely covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Reheating: To bring back some of the crust’s crispness, you can reheat slices in a 350°F oven for about 5-10 minutes.
