Oh my gosh, these galettes. I have been trying to break out of the classic strawberry rhubarb combination box. I love it as much as the next person, but I wanted to mix it up. These rhubarb ginger almond galettes definitely fit the bill!
The galettes are filled with fresh, tart rhubarb slices, pieces of chopped crystallized ginger for a spicy kick and both almond extract and almond slivers for a killer triple combination. Puff pastry makes for a really simple throw-together dessert that provides a flaky, melt in your mouth crust. You don’t have to worry about making a complicated pastry dough. This dessert comes together quickly and easily that will open your world to new rhubarb combination possibilities.

What you’ll need
- puff pastry
- rhubarb
- crystallized ginger
- almond extract
- granulated sugar
- salt
- slivered almonds
- milk
- coarse sugar

Let’s make the Rhubarb Ginger Almond Galettes
To start this super simple process, preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface and roll out so it’s nice and thin. Cut into four equal rectangles.
In a mixing bowl, stir together the rhubarb, ginger, sugar, salt and almond extract. Scoop into the center of each rectangle. Then, fold the edges over the filling, just a little. You want the filling still exposed. Pinch the corners together. Brush the edges with milk then sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar and almond slivers.
Pop in the oven and bake until the pastry is golden brown and flaky and the rhubarb is nice and tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool before serving. Serve as is or with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Simple, fabulous and scrumptious.


Notes & tidbits
If you don’t have coarse sugar, that’s okay. Just sprinkle granulated sugar over the tops.
If you want smaller sized galettes, simply slice into 6 rectangles instead of 4 and reduce the filling to about 1/4 cup instead.
