The Dessert Queen’s Basic Veganized Peach Galette | Mom’s Specialty

August 30, 2019 By julia

My Mom is the dessert queen. Always has been and always will be. The only difference over the last few years is that the desserts she’s always made…the ones that have earned her the title…are now veganized. I’m talking about the dense chocolate flourless Sachertorte Cake (best birthday cake), her amazing fruit crisps, her Tarte Tatin (insanely delicious), and now this, the Peach Galette (the best way to put these seasonal peaches to use).

Thanks to Mom for veganizing old faves.

She’s been plant-based now for about 3 years. Ever since reading The China Study, and Eat to Live, she was hooked on the disease prevention, energy boosting and longevity aspects of veganism. Then she watched all the documentaries around…. Cowspiracy and Forks Over Knives, and dove into Dr. Gregor’s Nutrition Facts.org… Her main reason is the desire to live a long, healthy life as the athlete and energizer bunny she is, so we can continue to bike, ski, and now kite board (we’re both learning!) together. I’m so grateful that she and my step Dad are on the plant train.

Ok, moving on with this dessert.

First of all, I want you to know that you can easily veganize any of your fave baking.

Like this:

Grab yourself some juicy peaches and enjoy this Galette from the dessert queen herself;)

Prep time

minutes
Cooking time

minutes

Ingredients

  • Pastry:
  • 2 cups of whole wheat or white flour

  • 1 tablespoon of cane sugar

  • ½ pound ‘butter’ (use Earth Balance or Culcherd squares for baking)

  • 1/3 cup of cold water

  • Filling:
  • 5-7 peaches (or gala apples)

  • 1/4 cup coconut or cane sugar

  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

Directions

  • Make pastry: Mix the flour and sugar in your food processor with the paddle attachment. Turn off food processor and quickly cut in pieces of cold butter (1/2 tablespoon chunks). Then, turn the food processor back on and mix until butter breaks up into pea sized pieces. Add cold water and mix until it forms a ball. Flatten the dough into a disk shape, wrap with saran wrap (re-usable saran wrap if you have it!) and chill pastry overnight or at least for a few hours.
  • Cut the peaches or apples in wedges. If using apples place wedges in a big bowl and toss with sugar  (approx. 1/4 cup) and cinnamon. For the peaches, lay them down on the pastry, then sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon on them.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F
  • Roll out the pastry on floured surface into a large circle 16-18 inches across. Fold in half and then in quarters so you can move it to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Unfold so the pastry drapes over the baking sheet.
  • Place fruit in spiralled circles on the pastry leaving 4-5 inches of the pastry sticking out beyond the fruit so that you can fold the pastry over the fruit after you have laid all of the fruit down (there should be 2-3 layers of fruit).
  • Before placing in the oven, brush the pastry with water and sprinkle with sugar for a crispy and nicely browned crust.
  • Bake at 400F for 30 – 40 minutes. Take a look and rotate at 30 minutes and bake 5 -10 minutes longer if needed.
  • Serve warm with your favourite vanilla non-dairy ice cream or coconut whipped cream!

Notes

  • Prep time doesn’t include the chill time for the pastry (2 hours or overnight)

🌱 SKIN LOVING TIPS ⤵️ From a simple is bet 🌱 SKIN LOVING TIPS ⤵️ 
From a simple is better, 30 somethin’, long routine avoiding kinda gal…who wants to support elastin & boost collagen 🤷‍♀️ 

I’ve had an interesting relationship with my skin, especially in high school. 
Did so much to try to manage it…accutane…birth control pills.👎🏼

The biggest skin game-changer for me was going vegan 7 years ago & ditched the dairy especially. 
My skin was NOTICEABLY less inflamed (no more hormones coming from my food). 

I’m not ‘use a million products’ kinda gal, but now at 34, I guess it’s time to start giving a little extra attention to the skin care regime 😆 

🌱 Lifestyle tips + products I’m loving right meow 🌱

#1: nutrition: eat whole plant foods packed with fibre & water content. Minimize the processed foods & sugar. Focus on plant protein from legumes, organic soy, seeds (add a little @Complement Chocolate Protein to your lattes)

#2: support your gut: focus on 🌱 diversity, fermented foods, and add pre-biotics and postbiotics to your life (love @Complement Gut Nurture)

#3: greens: pack your smoothie with as much as possible, top everything with sprouts, add a greens powder to your life (most potent: @complement Daily Greens)

#4: antioxidants! From plants, especially berries. Amp it up with functional mushrooms (hello, @staywyldorganics)

#5: nutrient support: take these 8 skin & hair-supporting essentials (B12, vegan D3, K2, zinc, selenium, magnesium, DHA/EPA omegas, iodine…all in @complement’s daily vegan minty multi) 

#6: creams & things:
I’m a new, huge fan of @puritywoodsinc Dream, Eye,Night Creams, and Elastin Serum. 
Created by vegans at the @art_ofantiaging. 
They use Maple Leaf and other amazing organic plant organic ingredients specifically for skin elasticity and collagen production support. 
And, oh my lawwwrd it smells so fresh & citrusy 👌 My skin is feeling noticeably smoother after a month of this!
Also: algae face mask… slap the ocean on the face with @beauty.botanics made by local, Ahnnabelle 💕

#7: stress less & sweat more: every day

3 steps to evolving as a human ⬇️ 1) Listen f 3 steps to evolving as a human ⬇️

1) Listen for that voice inside your head…
2) When it says ‘I don’t think I can do that’ or
‘That freaks me out’ or
‘I’m not (strong/smart/confident) enough to make that happen’ …
That’s your sign to move closer, to jump right in & embrace whatever it is that’s scaring you.
3) Do the thing

Surprise yourself with what you’re actually capable of. 

This is just one of many slices of golden quotes from an interview with my incredible Grandma, Joyce. 

‘Constant learning about one self, constant. 
If only I had only known I could do that, if only I had the confidence, I might have made a few difference choices … we really don’t know until it happens. 
You can surprise yourself. 
You can find abilities you didn’t know you had.‘

Joyce 💕 what a gem. 

Working towards this every day, just a little. 

Maybe you are too?
