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.

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 !
