Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 25 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 200 milliliters Almond milk
- 300 grams Mixed fresh fruits (strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, etc.)
- 4 tablespoons Apricot jam
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch flan or tart pan with some vegetable oil.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Add sugar and salt, and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the vanilla extract, then add the vegetable oil and almond milk. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared flan pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Remove the flan base from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the base is cooling, prepare the fruit topping by washing, peeling, and slicing your selection of fruits.
In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam with one tablespoon of water over low heat, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Once the flan base is cool, begin arranging the sliced fruits on top in a circular pattern, starting from the outside and working inwards.
Use a pastry brush to glaze the fruits with the apricot jam mixture, which will give them a shiny finish and enhance their natural sweetness.
Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free classic fruit flan as a refreshing dessert!
