Irish Fruit and Cream Flan

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 14 tablespoons cake flour
• 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
• 4 kiwis (ripe )
• 15 ounce can of mandarin oranges (drained)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare an 11-inch round fluted flan baking pan by spraying it with flour-infused oil.

   Break the eggs into a large mixing bowl and add the sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat the eggs and sugar together until the egg mixture has become very thick and turned a very pale yellow.

3. 3

   Sift the flour and baking powder together. Use a large spoon or spatula to fold the flour into the egg mixture, one third at a time.

4. 4

   Pour the sponge mixture into the prepared flan dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.

5. 5

   Bake in the pre-heated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the top is golden brown.

6. 6

   Cool for 2 minutes before inverting on a wire tray to cool completely.

7. 7

   Using an electric mixer beat the heavy whipping cream until thickened. Add the confectioners sugar and mix.

8. 8

   Fill the sponge flan shell with the cream and level with a spatula.

9. 9

   Peel and slice and halve the kiwis. Decorate the top of the flan with circles of kiwi slice halves and mandarin oranges. Serve cold. Store in the fridge.
