Blackcurrant flan
04 June 2020
Again a flan recipe based on fruit purée; I had already made a raspberry purée flan based on Quentin Lechat's recipe (I then declined it in a pear version, you can use the fruit purée of your choice), this time I was inspired by Julien Delhome's flan recipe, but I used a homemade puff pastry that I had in the freezer. You can use the pastry you want (reconstituted shortbread, shortcrust...) for this flan, the same way you can use the fruit purée of your choice.
Prep time : 15 minutes + 30 minutes cooking + cooling
For an 18cm flan :
Ingredients :
350g cream 35% fat
450g blackcurrant puree (or other fruit puree)
1 egg
3 egg yolks
90g brown sugar
40g cornstarch
20g flour
30g butter
Recipe :
Heat the blackcurrant purée with the cream.
Whisk the egg, the yolks and sugar. Add the flour and cornstarch.
Pour half the mix cream/blackcurrant on the eggs.
Put everything back in the pan and cook over medium heat while whisking.
Once boiling is reached, continue cooking for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add the butter and smooth with a whisk.
Pour the cream on the puff pastry and cook the flan for 30 minutes in the oven preheated to 180°C.
After taking it out of the oven, let it rest for 1 hour, then put it in the fridge for at least 3 hours before removing it delicately from the mould and enjoying !
