    Dark Chocolate Cherry Galette

    This is the first installment of Spabettie's Summer of Cherries - similar to Summer of George in no way at all.

    Yesterday my new cherry pitter was my friend all afternoon. My hands are all red. I ate too many cherries. I still have two huge bowls in my fridge.

    I made a batch of my easy gluten free and vegan pie crust, which then turned into individual galettes filled with a simple mixture of cherries and dark chocolate.

    Every time I make this pie crust, I wonder why I was so intimidated by it. Really, it is easy if you have a little patience and trust that it will come together. It not only comes together, but it is a terrifically flaky pie crust that you would not guess is vegan or gluten free. Honestly.

    What I have learned is to chill it, then work with it quickly right out of the fridge - have your fillings ready to go, so the dough does not dry out too much. If it does dry out, simply form a ball again (wet your hands to add moisture) and roll out again.

    Ahem. That last photo up there? Is what happens when you break off a tiny piece of the crust to "sample". You tell yourself you'll cover it with ice cream in photos. That crust sample is good. You have another. Then another piece comes off, and it has cherry juice and a smudge of chocolate on it. Soon you are thinking "there will be way too much ice cream in this photo to look normal" and end up eating the whole thing.

    That was the last photo I took and it was so worth it.

        hi Holly,

        it varies, usually the Endangered Species brand bars, (the one I prefer has the bat on the label) but I usually stock up on bars as they are on sale. I do buy dark chocolate chips also, and baking chocolate from my local baking/pastry shop.
