This flan is not difficult to prepare, and yet it makes for a “wow” presentation. The combination of the rich crust with luscious custard is just irresistible. I made this recently on very short notice for my friend’s daughter’s vort, and everyone loved it. It freezes beautifully too, even with the fruit! Thanks, Rachel K.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 and 1/2 cups Mishpacha Flour

  • 3 tablespoons sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled margarine, cut into 1/2-inch (1-centimeter) cubes

Directions

Prepare the Crust

1.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt; blend for five seconds. Add margarine and pulse until mixture is crumb-like.

2.

Add two tablespoons whipping cream and egg yolk. Blend until moist clumps form, adding more cream by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry.

3.

Gather dough into a ball; flatten into a disk. Wrap and chill one hour. (Dough can be made two days ahead. Keep in the fridge.)

4.

Prepare the Custard

1.

In a medium pot, place all ingredients except margarine. Stir constantly over medium heat until mixture thickens — do not leave for a second! (l use a whisk for this.)

2.

Remove from heat. Add margarine and stir until melted. Cool slightly. Pour into pie crust.

Decorate top with fresh blueberries.

2.

Grate pareve white chocolate over all. Refrigerate until using.
