Parisian Flan - French Custard Pie | Black Pepper Chef

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

pastry dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought pie crust

Whole wheat adds fiber and nutrients.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Roll out the puff pastry and line a tart pan, trimming the excess.

Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and fluffy.

Heat the milk and whipping cream in a saucepan until just simmering.

Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.

Add vanilla essence, lemon zest, flour, and starch, mixing until smooth.

Pour the custard into the prepared pastry shell.

Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set and the top is golden, about 40-45 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
