Raspberry Lemon Cream Galettes
Try these EASY Raspberry Lemon Cream Galettes, an excellent light dessert for a Cinco de Mayo or Mexican themed party!
I like to think about entertaining as a way to live a more generous, full life. It’s a way to bring close friends, old friends, or new friends together, to relax, enjoy, and share!
Raspberry Lemon Cream Galettes
I’m big on delegation, and having guests contribute to the meal, which is where the sharing comes in! And here’s an easy dessert to bring to the party: Raspberry Lemon Cream Galettes. You may also want to try my Mexican Flan Cake! Or these Cinnamon Buñuelos!
All you need are these ingredients:

- Fresh raspberries
Cinco de Mayo
With Cinco de Mayo almost here, now’s the time to start thinking about your menu and a festive table setting!
We create a lovely setting, invite friends in, everyone contributes and we enjoy delicious food together.
We fill up on friendship and love, encouragement and inspiration.
Set the table
In a small glass vessel I placed dry black beans, and dug up a few succulents from the backyard.
Classic blue-rimmed Mexican beverage glasses.
Dollar Store vibrant-colored vases off to the side, with sweet peas, and tea light candles.
And we always seem to end the party with some tasty treat.

Hi Sandy!
I have made your Flan cake from your book!!! I made fajitas, Mexican rice, and a black bean-avocado salad for the dinner! Your cake was a huge hit with our guests!
Awesome, Andrea! Thanks for letting me know. I agree, that flan is amazing! I have an adapted recipe coming up soon on RE! with lime!
I like to serve either “Pan Dulce” (Mexican sweet bread), flan, or Cinnamon Crispas ala Taco Bell. Just add some great coffee and you’re set!
A simple, creamy, delicious lemon dessert? I’m already in love, but those plates! Gorgeous!
This is a perfect, easy spring dessert and those plates are gorgeous! You really can’t tell at all that it’s melamine!
Ahhh.. Raspberry* :)
Raspeberry and Lemon go so well together! This recipe is made even more wonderful by putting the pairing on top of those cookies! Looks so good! Very nice presentation as well!
I can’t say that I’ve made a mexican dessert. But this looks realy good.
