This Vegan Plum Galette with Cream Cheese is a delightful dessert that combines the sweetness of ripe plums with the creamy tanginess of vegan cream cheese, all wrapped in a flaky crust. It's perfect for any occasion and sure to impress!
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup almond flour. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup vegan butter, chilled and cubed. 1/4 cup ice water. 8 oz vegan cream cheese. 1/4 cup powdered sugar. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 4-5 ripe plums, sliced. 2 tablespoons maple syrup. 1 tablespoon cornstarch. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 2 tablespoons sliced almonds. Pinch of cinnamon. Pinch of nutmeg.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375F 190C. In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt. Pulse to mix. Add the chilled vegan butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water and pulse until the dough comes together. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. In a mixing bowl, beat the vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside. In another bowl, toss the sliced plums with maple syrup, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well coated. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Spread the vegan cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange the sliced plums over the cream cheese mixture. Fold the edges of the dough over the plums, pleating as needed. Brush the edges of the galette with water and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the plums are tender. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
