Preheat your oven to 175°C (347°F). Grease a 9-inch flan or tart pan with removable bottom lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and granular erythritol. Add melted unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough comes together.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared flan pan, covering the bottom and the sides. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with the powdered erythritol until it forms stiff peaks.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
Spread the cream mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
Arrange the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top of the cream layer in a decorative pattern.
Prepare the sugar-free clear glaze according to package instructions and gently brush it over the fruits to give them a glossy finish.
Refrigerate the fruit flan for at least 1 hour before serving to let it set. Slice and enjoy your low-carb delight.
