Heart Shaped Strawberry Galette

Galettes are easily my preferred dessert over pie. Cant explain it but I love them. Also, a great way to use up your fruit!

Heart-Shaped Strawberry Galette

4-5 cups strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Zest of 1/2 lemon
3 tbsp corn starch (optional, I didn't have any so I skipped this)
1 pie crust sheet
1 egg, for egg wash
3-4 tbsp sugar in the raw
Vanilla ice cream to serve

Preheat oven 400°F. Put sugar in medium sized bowl and use your fingertips to rub the lemon zest into sugar. Mix in corn starch and sliced strawberries into sugar mixture and let it sit while you prepare the pie crust. Roll out pie crust on lightly floured surface (~12-14inch round). Cut a notch at the top and slivers off the sides to create a rough heart shape. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and gently transfer pie crust. Mound strawberries onto the center. Fold the pie crust onto fruit while pleating as you go forming a heart as shown. Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle sugar in the raw along crust. Back for 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden and berries are bubbly. Serve with scoops of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
