Raspberry Ricotta Almond Galette

Ingredients

  • 400g sweet short pastry

  • 125g fresh raspberries

  • 250g ricotta

  • 3 Tbsp Mānuka honey

  • 1 Tbsp vanilla paste

  • 3 Tbsp sliced almonds

Instructions

Preheat & Prepare
Heat oven to 200°C (fan bake).

Mix the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, Mānuka honey, and vanilla paste until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Galette
Unroll pastry and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Spread ricotta mixture evenly over the center, leaving about 4–5 cm of pastry around the edges.

Add the Fruit
Scatter the fresh raspberries over the ricotta.

Fold & Top
Gently roll up the edges of the pastry, folding it over the ricotta slightly to create a rustic border. Sprinkle sliced almonds over the top.

Bake
Place in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.

Serve
Let it cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature, on its own or with a dollop of Greek yogurt.

This Raspberry Ricotta Almond Galette is incredibly adaptable:
