Fresh Fruit Flan
50 mins preparation,
20-25 mins baking, plus cooling
Serves 8-10
Ingredients:-
4 eggs
100g (4oz) caster sugar
100g (4oz) plain flour sifted
Filling:-
200ml (7floz) crème fraiche
1-2 tbsp almond liqueur
142ml (5 fl oz) pot of double cream
2 tbsp caster sugar
3 -4 peaches, sliced
100g (4oz) raspberries
2 tbsp blueberries
1 Preheat oven to 190C/375F/ gas 5. Grease and lightly flour a 27-30cm (11-12in) raised- base, fluted flan tin.
2 Put the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric whisk until thick, creamy and tripled in volume.
3 With a spatula, carefully fold in the flour, using a figure-of- eight action. Turn into the prepared tin and tilt to level the surface.
4 Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
5 Blend together the crème fraiche and almond liqueur.
6 Whip the double cream and caster sugar together until the mixture starts to form soft peaks. Whisk into the creme fraiche mixture.
7 Spread the cream mixture over the base of the flan. Arrange the peach slices around the edge. Place the raspberries and blueberries in the centre.
Serve immediately.
Cook's Tips
