Sweetly fruity, colorful and fun, these rustic strawberry mango mini galettes will brighten up your table and your taste buds. Fresh strawberries and mango slices are stirred with honey, layered over a delicious almond paste and baked in a lightly sweet pastry.
When I want to bake with fruit and find myself at a loss, I turn to the galette. Making a galette (or four mini galettes) is easier than making a pie, but gives a very similar result: warm, juicy fruit against the backdrop of a flaky, tender pastry. And in this case, a homemade almond paste adds flavor and texture. The beauty of making galettes is that they are not supposed to look perfect, and in fact, the more imperfect they look, the more authentically rustic and pretty they look. If you suffer from perfectionism (like I do), making galettes is a good way to let it go. And the flavor of the fruit and almond paste with the pastry is lovely!
