This is an easy recipe for a Thermomix Peach Galette. It has fresh, juicy peaches and a soft, buttery pastry. Top it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate no-fuss dessert.
This Thermomix Peach Galette is a simple summer dessert perfect for any occasion. Peaches are in season right now in Victoria, and I was lucky to be given some by a friend who went fruit picking in the Yarra Valley, about an hour east of Melbourne.
Galettes are also known as crostatas and free-form tarts. I love how rustic they look without requiring too much effort. I also have a delicious Thermomix Apple Galette recipe for making a lovely autumnal dessert.
Tips on How to Make
Making the pastry in the Thermomix is the easiest thing ever, and I have made this pastry recipe hundreds of times without fail. There are a few tips, though, to achieve the perfect pastry in the Thermomix:-
- Use cold butter straight from the fridge.
- Use ice-cold water - this prevents the butter from melting.
- Use the exact ingredient quantities listed in the recipe.
Once you've made the pastry, it must rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to make it easier to roll. Whilst it's resting, it's time to prepare the peaches. The peaches I used in the photo were slightly overripe and squishy, but they tasted good.
Peaches taste amazing, but I like adding a little brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch. The cornstarch helps absorb the juices, which prevents the pastry from going soggy.
Once the pastry is chilled, it's just a case of assembling it all. You can arrange the peaches in any way you like but don't pile them up too high, or the pastry will go soggy.
The galette takes about 35-40 minutes to bake in the oven and is ready when the crust turns golden.
Serving Suggestions
Freshly baked Peach Galette can be eaten warm or served with freshly whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or hot or cold custard.
📖 Recipe
Thermomix Peach Galette
This is an easy recipe for a Thermomix Peach Galette, made with fresh, juicy peaches and a soft, buttery pastry. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate no-fuss dessert.
Ingredients
For the Pastry
- 200g plain flour
- 100g unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
- 30g white sugar
- pinch of salt
- 50g iced cold water
For the Peach Filling
- 4-5 firm peaches, de-stoned and cut into thin slices
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (approximately ½ a lemon)
- 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 egg, for egg wash (optional)
Instructions
To make the pastry
- Place the flour, butter, sugar, and salt in the Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 sec/speed 6.
- Add the chilled water and knead for 1 minute/dough setting. The pastry should now have come together, if not knead for a little longer.
- Turn the pastry onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it into a ball. Wrap in cling film or glad wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes while you prepare the peach filling.
For the peach filling
- Core the peaches and cut them into thin slices.
- Place in a bowl, add the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice, and carefully toss to combine. You don't want them to go too mushy.
To assemble
- Take the pastry out of the fridge and roll it out onto a lightly floured surface into a circle shape that's roughly 30cm in diameter. It doesn't have to look perfect!
- Transfer the pastry carefully onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Arrange the peach filling in a single layer over the pastry, leaving a 3-4cm border around the edges.
- Gently fold the pastry dough's edges over the peaches, then pinch together with your fingers every 3-4cm. Heat the oven to 170°C fan-forced / 190°C and place in the fridge for 20 minutes to chill whilst the oven heats up.
- Brush the crust edges with egg wash and bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden.
- Serve warm with freshly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
