This amazing fruit flan recipe comes from a wonderful cook and friend. In places like the U.K. and Germany, 'flan' refers to a fruit tart rather than a baked custard, boasting a cake-like crust, custard filling, and fresh fruit topping. This recipe offers a unique twist, utilizing a cream cheese filling similar to what Americans know as a fruit pizza.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan thoroughly.
Prepare the crust: Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, and baking soda into a mixing bowl to ensure a smooth texture.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the sugars, butter, oil, egg, and vanilla until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture until everything is thoroughly blended. Spread the dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Take it out of the oven and let it cool completely for about 30 minutes.
Create the filling and arrange the fruit: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Spread this evenly over the cooled crust, then artistically arrange your chosen fruit on top. Place the flan in the refrigerator while you prepare the glaze.
Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Whisk in the water, orange juice, and lemon juice, then bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Let it boil gently for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and allow it to cool completely for 20 to 30 minutes.
Spoon or brush the glaze evenly over the fruit. Refrigerate the flan for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the glaze to set.
