Instructions

To make the Chocolate Pie Crust:

  • Place the flour, cocoa, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.  
  • Stir in the olive oil, until the mixture resembles coarse meal.  
  • Add the butter slices, tossing to coat.  
  • Stir in the water, a tablespoon at a time, just until the dough gathers itself into a ball.  
  • On a lightly floured surface, pat or roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.  
  • Fold it into thirds, like a letter.  
  • Roll out again to a thickness of 1/2-inch.  
  • Turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat two more times.  
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours minimum.

To make the Cherry Pie Filling:

  • Place half the cherries in a small pot, along with the water, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.  
  • Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and jammy.  
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining cherries and almond extract.

To assemble the Galette:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the Chocolate Pie Dough to a thickness of about 1/8-inch.  
  • Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet, and place the Cherry Pie Filling in the center.  
  • Fold the sides of the dough up and over the filling slightly, pleating as needed.  Optional: brush the crust with egg white and sprinkle with about 1/4-cup of sliced almonds.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and the fruit is slightly softened.  
  • Cool completely before slicing.  Optional: dust with powdered sugar, for garnish.
