A delicious fruit flan which is quite easy, but just be a little careful when making the crème pâtissière. It is made using pâte sucrée (with ground almonds), but you can also make with pâte sablée (trickier) or pâte à foncer (easier).

Method
For the pâte sucrée
- Mix the flour, almonds and icing sugar in a bowl.
- Rub in the butter until the mixture is like fine breadcrumbs
- Add the eggs and mix gently to a smooth paste.
- The dough will be sticky, but if too sticky, add a little more flour
- Shape the dough into a cow pat, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Pre-heat the pven to 190° C (375° F - gas 5), [fan oven 170° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour]
- Roll out the dough into a rough circle and line the flan tin or ring.
- Using a fork, prick the base.
- Bake blind for 25 minutes, then bake for a further 15 minutes without the baking beans or until cooked.
- Remove from the tin and leave to cool on a cooling rack.
For the crème pâtissière
- Whisk together the eggs and 25g sugar in a bowl
- Whisk in the flour.
- Heat the milk in a pan with the rest of the sugar and as soon as it
- comes to the boil, pour into the egg mixture, stirring constantly.
- Mix well, then pour the mixture back into the pan with the vanilla extract.
- Bring to the boil over a medium heat, stirring continuously.
- Allow to bubble for 2 minutes, then pour into a bowl or jug.
- Cover with cling film and leave to cool.
For the Chantilly cream
- Whisk all of the ingredients in a chilled bowl until it has thickened.
- Do not over-whisk or you will end up with sweet butter.
- Cover the bowl and keep in the fridge until needed.
To finish
- Gently fold the Chantilly cream into the crème pâtissière, using a cold, metal spoon.
- Tip into the cool pastry case and smooth the mixture out.
- Arrange the berries over the top of the cream mixture and sprinkle some sifted icing sugar over the top.
- Keep refrigerated.
Recipe source
- Loosely based on recipes by the Roux brothers in The Roux Brothers on Patisserie (1986)
Chef's notes
