These fun little one person, no-fuss Mini Strawberry Limeade Galettes are filled with fresh vanilla lime-spiked strawberries, and are a great dessert even for outdoor meals.
Don’t let the name fool you.
Mini Strawberry Limeade Galettes.
I promise you, they only sound fancy. These cute little single-serve tart-pie things are super easy to make…and are ready to devour so much quicker than a regular pie!
Make no mistake, I love pie. It’s always worth the effort. But sometimes, you just need near-instant gratification.
As for me, sometimes I just need little baby pies that can sit in the palm of my hand.
The cast is simple.
Strawberries. They’re the star of the show. The diva. The Beyoncé, if you will. They keep they’re ruby-hued beauty from start to finish.
Of course, they’re given a hand by their more subtle but equally talented backup singers: sugar, vanilla, and lime.
Lime is like the Effie White of this dessert. Loud and large in flavor, and yet, still not given the credit she’s due.
(Beyoncé, Dreamgirls…it seemed to fit. Just go with it.)
And then there’s the rest of the ingredients, combined and all wrapped up in a dreamy, soft, buttery little pie crust…
…and then sprinkled with stardust.
OK, so maybe it’s just more sugar.
But these lovely little strawberry galettes are perfectly dreamy in their size, flavor, and versatility.
Mr. Crumby polished off all but three of these, and he ate each one a different way. One with vanilla ice cream, one with whipped cream, one alone on a plate, one with his bare hands…
That’s what so great about these.
Simple to make, even easier to eat. It’s one of the best summer desserts I’ve made so far, and it’s only May!

Mini Strawberry Limeade Galettes
Ingredients
Crust
Strawberry Limeade Filling
- 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled & sliced
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 lime zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons water
- Turbinado or coarse sugar
Instructions
- Refrigerate finished pie crust 10-15 minutes before making this recipe.
Strawberry Limeade Filling
- Combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, lime zest and juice, and vanilla in a medium bowl, stirring to coat the berries. Set aside.
Galettes
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out dough on a lightly floured nonstick surface (baking mat or parchment).
- Press the mouth of a 3-inch glass or bowl, or large cookie cutter, in to the dough, creating circles. Re-roll remaining dough and repeat, aiming for 6-8 circles.
- Place dough circles on a baking sheet covered in parchment. Spoon about ¼ cup of strawberry filling in the middle of each circle.
- Fold the edges of the galette dough up over the berries, pinching it gently to keep it together.
- Refrigerate galettes for 30 minutes prior to baking. When ready to bake, combine beaten egg and water in a small bowl and brush each crust, then sprinkle with Turbinado sugar.
- Bake 15 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden.

Those are precious! And certainly personal size so I don’t end up eating more than my share at once. Just one every hour, all day long, right?
Erica says
That’s pretty much how I look at it! Just every time you walk through the kitchen…
Jenna @ A Savory Feast says
Mmmmmm! I’ve been wanting to make some galettes lately. Your mini version is so cute! And strawberry limeade is the perfect flavor for summer. These would be great for Memorial Day!
Shirley Wood says
I really like the idea of little individual pies, especially with strawberries. This is a perfect dessert for a big family summer gathering. Your crust sound pretty easy to make too. Pinning for this summer.
Erica says
The crust is SO super easy, and the cream cheese makes it that much better and more tender! It’s by far my favorite!
Krayl @ An Appealing Plan says
This is a perfect combination! Love it for a quick dessert for a summer gathering!
Stephanie of The TipToe Fairy says
Just gorgeous! This has given me an idea. I love making mini pie cookies, but I’ve never tried mini galettes. This just might be the end of year teacher gifts. Yum!
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life says
Little baby pies that fit in the palm of your hand are just so much better!!! So cute and delicious looking!
Tiara says
Oh my goodness. It’s nearly 1:00 am and I am up thinking about running to the local market and getting strawberries to make these. I definitely need to make these ASAP. I am addicted to strawberries and this recipe is perfect! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️
heather @ divas run for bling says
What a great recipe idea! I am a big fan of anything related to lemonade or limeade so this dessert looks perfect for summer
Lauren says
I usually pair lime with cherry because I love Cherry Limeades but these look delicious. I love making cobblers and crumbles during the summer since the fresh fruit is so accessible! Add a little ice cream and I am in heaven.
Ashley ~ 3 Little Greenwoods says
I *need* one of these little baby pies right now! Wonderful photography!
Pinning!
Jeff the Chef says
These look great! And I love the combination of strawberry and lime. How do they hold up over time? Best just baked? Good the next day? Do you refrigerate the leftovers, and if so, are they good cold?
Erica says
Personally, I love them fresh out of the oven with some whipped cream, but they were just as tasty a couple days later – they didn’t last longer than that because they’d been devoured! I wrapped them in tinfoil and popped them in the fridge, and reheated them in the toaster oven. Didn’t try them cold, but I bet they’d taste pretty good that way, as well!
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
Those galettes look amazing! I mean, this is Food Network, cookbook quality nom noms! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sweet treat quite so tasty. I’ll have to make these this weekend. Thanks so much!
Erica says
Thank you so much, Stacie! What a sweet thing to say. ^.^ Let me know how they go over with your Memorial Day crew! 🙂
Tammilee Tips says
I don’t think that I have ever had a Galettes before! They look like a delicious dessert! I am so thankful we live by strawberry farms and can get fresh strawberries at the farmers market!
Erica says
So jealous! I love picking fresh strawberries!! I bought some bulbs of my own, now I’m just waiting for them to produce some fruit!
Dina Demarest says
I can’t tell you enough how adorable these are! I love the combination of strawberry and lime because it’s so refreshing to me. You also make it look simple enough that I can pull these off with no problems! I can’t wait to try them!
Cara (@StylishGeek) says
This is an awesome recipe! Totally love the mini strawberry limeade galettes! It’s the perfect type of pastry I could serve up whenever I have tea parties. And since strawberries are now in season I can definitely give it a try to make them! Thanks for sharing!
Keikilani says
Love Strawberry everything! They look so cute and little. Perfect for a summer tea party. Which I am now inspired to plan! So yummy.
amanda says
I am not a baker at all, but the way you made the crust look so easy, I just might try it myself. These look delish and perfect for summer entertaining. Maybe I will have enough time to whip them up for our Memorial Day BBQ.
rochkirstin says
I love pies and these mini strawberry limeade galettes look super delicious and perfect for the tropical season. They are so convenient to eat in a picnic as fingerfood. I won’t mind the calories. 🙂 If I see these in a bakeshop, I’d absolutely take home a pack for my family.
Fi Ní Neachtáin says
Oh these look so delicious and perfect for summer days! Strawberries and limes have some of my favourite flavours so I really like that both of those are in these. Thanks for sharing the recipe too because I’d like to have a go at making these for some of our summer picnics 🙂
Geanine says
My daughter is literally addicted in Strawberries and will eat them alone all day long. This recipe is perfect for two reasons, one it gives me an alternative to offer her, and also because it is easy enough for us to make together. Thank you for sharing.
Adrienne says
What a yummy looking dessert to bring to events! I can’t wait to try this one at my next girls’ night out with my friends (once a month we try a new baked good). I’m sure they’ll be impressed with this one!
Amber @ Slim Pickin's Kitchen says
What an amazing stardust sprinkle sugar shot! Love it <3
