Chocolate Cherry Galettes

Ingredients

• 1 cup hazelnut meal
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 4 teaspoons heavy cream
• 1 1/4 cups pitted sweet cherries (fresh or frozen and thawed, halved)
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream
• turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine all ingredients for crust in a food processor. Process just until a dough ball forms. Pat dough into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in freezer for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Uncover dough and divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece between two sheets of plastic wrap dusted with cornstarch into a 4-inch circle. Transfer circles to prepared baking sheet. Return to freezer for 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Top each dough circle with cherries and chocolate chips, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold up the crust around the filling, leaving the filling exposed in the center. Whisk egg white and heavy cream together in a small bowl; brush mixture over each pie. Sprinkle lightly with sugar.

5. 5

   Bake 15 to 17 minutes until pie crust is deep golden brown and baked through and filling just begins to bubble. Cool completely on baking sheet before serving.
