Double Blackberry Chocolate Galette: Don’t Miss It
Yes autumn is here again and it’s brambling season. If you’re wondering what to do with all those black fruits you’ve gathered, this double blackberry chocolate galette might do the trick. It’s a rustic blackberry tart with a hidden layer of chocolate blackberry jam to give added depth and sweetness.
When Kate announced that blackberries were to be the special ingredient for this month’s We Should Cocoa, I knew exactly what I wanted to make. Ever since my first rustic gooseberry galette earlier in the year, I was dying to try one with blackberries. But it wasn’t going to be any old galette, it was a double blackberry chocolate galette.
Double Chocolate Blackberry Galette
So far so good. But how to get the chocolate part in? At first I thought I’d make a white chocolate version of the pastry as I did with this rhubarb and almond cream pasty pie, but then I remembered the chocolate blackberry jam I made last year. Woohoo, easy peasy. A case of crisp flaky pastry flavoured with cinnamon, spread with chocolate blackberry jam and then filled with fresh foraged blackberries just had to be good – and it was.
Blackberries are one of autumn’s delights, but picking them was a harder job than I was expecting. We had a solid week of rain here in Cornwall and this had a rather detrimental effect on our lovely brambles. Most of the fruit was mouldy or spoiled in some way. However, with a bit of diligence along with the usual scratches and stained hands, I managed to pick a good punnet full.
The double blackberry chocolate galette was everything I was hoping for. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this pastry recipe is the best ever; its easy to handle and it produces a beautifully flaky buttery crust. The chocolate blackberry jam added depth of flavour and sweetness and the blackberries gave their distinctive late summer essence.
If you don’t have any chocolate blackberry jam to hand and I can quite see why you wouldn’t, just use regular blackberry jam instead. Or you could try my ab fab hedgerow jelly.

Sharing
- This double blackberry chocolate galette is my #WeShouldCocoa entry for September. Kate at The Veg Space is guest hosting and has chosen blackberries.
- I’m also joining in with the Great British Blackberry Recipe Round Up with Janice at Farmersgirl Kitchen and Karen at Lavender and Lovage.
- My blackberry galette also goes to the Pastry Challenge. This is hosted alternately over at United Cakedom and Jen’s Food. I’ve only entered once before and submitted a galette then, so I hope Lisa and Jen don’t mind.
- It’s purple and blues over at the Vegetable Palette at A2K – A Seasonal Veg Table, so this rustic French blackberry tart fits in very nicely.
ohh how interesting I have never tried or heard of chocolate blackberry jam, will have to give that ago. and this galatte just looks fabulous
Thanks Jacqui. Pastry has always been a bit of an issue for me, but since I discovered galettes there’s been no stopping me. The chocolate blackberry jam is a fun concept, but also delicious.
I love this, but its the chocolate blackberry jam that has me most excited. Thanks so much for sharing with FruitPalette, the round up should be up very soon
The chocolate blackberry jam was really good, though I didn’t pick enough blackberries to make any this year.
Now you make me wanna drop everything thing and go black berry picking with my youngest.
But of course Bintu, it’s the perfect time for brambling.
Corrr, what a treat! Love the sound of the chocolatey blackberry filling, bet that tasted good on its own too 🙂
Janie x
Ah, not bad at all Janie – those brambles go surprisingly well with chocolate 😉
I too have never tried a galette and your right it looks super easy! Must give making one a go! Our usual blackberry bushes that we pick from haven’t been very good this year, but I do love fresh blackberries!! I must try to make something with them and chocolate for this month’s We Should Cocoa!! Thank you for sharing yours in this month’s pastry challenge!
Yes do try making one Lisa. I haven’t tried it, but I expect it would work brilliantly with apples too. Would be lovely to have an entry from you for #WeShouldCocoa
This looks so good, I want to try to make a galette, yum!
Ah it’s so worth trying Sara and they are really quite simple.
Must admit I ‘ve never tried galette before and I really want to! Looking at yours makes me wanna bake my own 😉
It’s so easy to make Sylvia, if I can do it anyone can 😉
Your galette looks delish Choclette. It seems very simple to make and wonderful with blackberries. There are so many in the fields now and it would be a shame not to pick them.
Have a good week x
Go pick them Alida, it would be a shame indeed as it will be another whole year before we see them again. This tart is really simple. I’ve made it slightly more complicated by adding jam 😉
Choclette! You always bake such amazing sounding desserts – this blackberry galette is to die for! I totally get what you mean about the blackberries – I battled it out with them earlier this week. They’re delicious, but those bushes sure make you work for it!
Ah thank you Sarah. I have a terrible sweet tooth and like my cakes and desserts. Blackberries certainly like to give as good as they get. What did you make with yours?
I’ve never made a galette before but this looks lovely. No brambles yet in Scotland – still green and hard, but I have some in the freezer from last year.
I do tend to think of brambles as September fruit Claire, but ours have been out for a while – still plenty of hard green ones though.
This looks so good. I have some spiced blackberry jam that would do very well for this recipe!
Oh yes Janice, that sounds perfect.
This looks very delicious but I wish we had blackberries here! They can be found but they’re very very expensive. I think that this would pair well with some vanilla ice cream
No blackberries? Use another fruit Diana. This tart would work well with lots of fruit. I shall be working my way through them all, so can verify that at some future date 😉
The colours are so gorgeous – food porn!
Ah, I don’t often get that accolade CC 🙂
I really like the idea of your pastry and your galette recipe sounds very simple. I’d eat yours with a big blob of cream!
Haha Tracy, we did eat ours with a big blob of cream – Cornish clotted cream 😉
Such a beautiful galette! The crust is so flaky and that filling so juicy…a terrific combo!
Thanks Angie, I’m still quite new to galettes and can’t get over just how good they are.
Wow that looks absolutely delicious Choclette, I could dive right in! Thanks for submitting to the challenge and look forward to seeing others’ creations soon!
Thanks Kate. One of the joys of seasonal produce that each one seems the most delicious thing ever and then the next one comes along – hard to get bored.
that looks so amazing! I love the chocolate jam, that’s genius. So pretty. We have loads of blackberries here. I need to go a foraging!
Oh you do Dom. I hope you have better luck than I did.
This looks delicious! I must try a galette soon, they are a great way to make a pud.
It’s so much easier than making a tart and just as, if not more delicious.
The pastry looks absolutely delicious and I love blackberries. Foraging for blackberries is such a British past time. I’ve loved teaching our children which ones to pick and those to leave for the birds. This Galette is gorgeous. Sammie
Thanks Sammie. This pastry works so well for me. I used to have dreadful problems. This has consistently turned out a beautiful flaky pastry that goes particularly well with tarts and pies – touches wood! Glad you are passing on such an important tradition to your children as brambling 🙂
