Ingredients
  

  • 1 single pie dough
  • 1 pastry cream recipe

Your choice of fruit

  • strawberries sliced, blue berries, kiwi sliced, banana sliced*.
  • 2-3 tablespoons strawberry jam or melted chocolate

*The amount will depend on which fruit or berries you use. Large fruit should be sliced to desired thickness.

    EXTRAS

    • 2 tablespoons apricot jam
    • 1-2 tablespoons water

    Instructions
     

    • Prepare the Pie Pastry or use a store bought pie crust.
    • Prepare the vanilla Pastry Cream.
    • Pre-heat the oven to 350F (180C). Grease and flour a 8 or 9 inch pie plate or flan pan.
    • Roll out the dough into a circle 1/8 inch thick, place into the prepared pan. Prick the bottom well with the tongs of a fork, cover with parchment paper, add pie weights or beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and paper and continue to bake for another 5-10 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before filling.
    • Once the crust has cooled, spread the top with the jam, spread the vanilla pastry cream evenly on top, then decorate with your favourite fruit slices and or berries. Brush the top of the flan with the apricot glaze. Chill 30-60 minutes and serve. Enjoy!

    APRICOT GLAZE

    • In a small pot add the apricot jam and water, place over low/medium heat and heat until the ingredients dissolve together and become a sort of syrup, approximately 3 minutes.

    Notes

    If making your own pie dough, an extra dough can be frozen. Place in a freezer safe bag and freeze for up to 6 months.
    Christina, a reader suggested, "If fruit is too wet or juicy set it on a paper towel for a few minutes before putting it on the flan pie".
