Summer Nectarine and Almond Galette with Rosemary Honey

A rustic nectarine and almond galette with rosemary honey, easy pie crust, quick frangipane, and a taste of stone fruit season in Florence.

Stone fruit was everywhere when I visited Italy this summer. Nectarines, peaches, and apricots filled the market stalls in Florence, piled high in the kind of displays that make you want to buy fruit even when you have absolutely no plan for what you're going to do with it. They showed up on dessert menus too, often paired with almonds in pastries and simple seasonal desserts.

That combination stayed with me when I came home. Stone fruit and almonds are a classic pairing in European baking, and I wanted to take those flavors and turn them into something that felt special without becoming an all-day baking project.

This Summer Nectarine & Almond Galette with Rosemary Honey is my easy version of that idea. Instead of making pastry from scratch, I start with a store-bought pie crust and fill it with a quick almond frangipane, a rich almond cream made with butter, sugar, egg, and almond flour. Thin slices of fresh nectarine go over the top before the crust is folded around the fruit and baked until golden.

I originally planned to use apricots, which are the more traditional pairing with almond in European baking, but nectarines were what looked best at the market and I went with them instead. It turned out to be the right call. Their fresh, slightly tart flavor doesn't overpower the almond filling, so you still really taste the frangipane underneath. A rosemary-infused honey brushed over the warm fruit adds a subtle herbal note and gives the nectarines a beautiful glossy finish.

What you end up with is a galette that looks like it took more effort than it did. The crust is golden and flaky, the frangipane is soft and fragrant, and the nectarines sink slightly into the filling as they bake, becoming jammy at the edges while staying tender in the center. It's rustic, summery, and intentionally uncomplicated. Serve it slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and let the fruit, almond, and rosemary do the rest.

Ingredients

Almond cream (frangipane)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
3/4 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Pinch of salt

Galette

1 store-bought refrigerated pie crust, about 11 inches
3–4 nectarines, pitted and thinly sliced, about 1 1/2–2 cups
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
1 egg, beaten, for egg wash
1 tablespoon granulated or coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Rosemary Honey

3 tablespoons honey
1 small sprig fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon water

Instructions

Almond cream (frangipane)

In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and almond extract and mix until combined. Add the almond flour and salt and mix until a thick, smooth paste forms.
Refrigerate the frangipane for 15 minutes while preparing the remaining ingredients.

Galette

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature until cool but pliable enough to unroll without cracking, about 10–15 minutes or according to package directions.
Pit the nectarines and cut into approximately 1/4-inch slices. If the nectarines are clingstone and difficult to separate from the pits, cut sections of flesh away from the pit first, then thinly slice. Set aside.
Unroll the pie crust directly onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread the chilled frangipane evenly over the crust, leaving approximately a 1 1/4-inch border around the edge.
Just before assembling, gently toss the nectarine slices with the sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Arrange the nectarines over the frangipane in an overlapping pattern, leaving the border clear. If liquid has accumulated in the bowl, lift out the fruit and leave the excess liquid behind.
Fold the exposed edges of the crust inward over the outer edge of the fruit, allowing the dough to overlap naturally as you work around the galette. Gently press the overlapping folds together.
Brush the folded crust with the beaten egg. Scatter the slivered almonds over the border and sprinkle with granulated or coarse sugar.
10. If the dough has become very soft while assembling, refrigerate the assembled galette for 10–15 minutes before baking. Otherwise, bake immediately.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden brown, the nectarines are tender, and the frangipane is set and lightly puffed.
While the galette bakes, combine the honey, rosemary sprig, and water in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and fluid, without allowing the mixture to boil. Remove from the heat and discard the rosemary. If the honey is too thick to brush easily, stir in up to 1 teaspoon additional warm water.
Remove the galette from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Lightly brush the warm rosemary honey over the exposed nectarines until glossy.
Allow the galette to cool for at least 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve as is or with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Apricots or peaches work equally well in place of nectarines — use whatever stone fruit looks best at the market.
If the frangipane softens too much while you assemble the galette, pop it back in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking.
Best served warm on the day it's baked. Leftovers can be stored loosely covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Pornstar Martini Ice Lollies (Mocktail Popsicles)

There are some flavours that do not just stay in your memory because of how they taste, but because of where they first come from. One of the earliest times I encountered a Pornstar Martini style cocktail was during a cocktail making experience in Zanzibar. It was not just the drink itself that stood out, but the entire setting. Warm coastal air, ocean in the background, and that feeling of being somewhere completely different from everyday life. What stayed with me was not only the flavour but the way it was served. Vibrant, layered, and visually split between a rich tropical base and a lighter sparkling finish. That contrast in flavour and presentation is what I have always associated with it.

In this version, I have leaned into those tropical notes in a more playful and accessible way for a frozen dessert. I used pineapple alongside passion fruit because it naturally softens the sharpness of passion fruit and adds a round, juicy sweetness that works especially well once frozen. Vanilla brings warmth and depth, tying everything together into a smooth and balanced flavour profile.

To keep that original split personality feel of the cocktail, I also wanted a sparkling element when serving. Instead of champagne, I use ginger ale with a splash of pineapple juice. This is not a direct replacement but a non alcoholic way to recreate the same celebratory fizz and light golden colour in a glass.

In this recipe, those core flavour ideas are reimagined as frozen ice lollies. The result is a simple tropical dessert that still carries the identity of the original inspiration. Bright passion fruit, soft pineapple sweetness, and subtle vanilla warmth, frozen into a refreshing summer treat.

These ice lollies can be enjoyed on their own or paired with sparkling wine or a non alcoholic fizz for a more cocktail style serving. They can also be dipped into a glass for a playful frozen twist on the original presentation.

It is a frozen interpretation of a modern classic built from memory, shaped by travel, and designed for warm days and simple ingredients.
