I like making this flan when I am going to my daughters for dinner as my grandsons really like it when I make a special dessert and this one always looks like its made for a special occasion and I believe when families get together for a meal it is a special occasion.

Meringue Fruit Flan Ingredients

1 oz cornflour
1 1/4 cups castor sugar
1/2 pint evaporated milk
tin pears and raspberries

Meringue Fruit Flan Method

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. In a large bowl separate eggs and whisk whites until stiff and standing in peaks then add 4 oz sugar and whisk again until thick. Fold in another 4 oz sugar using a metal spoon then put the mixture into a large piping bag fitted with a star nozzle and then pipe a large round on a baking tin and spread inwards to make a base. Pipe around the edge of the circle to build up sides. Bake on lowest shelf of oven for 2 hours or until completely dried out.

Mix the cornflour and remaining sugar with a little of the milk to make a smooth paste then bring the remaining milk to the boil and pour over the cornflour. Return to pan and bring back to the boil stirring until thickened then cook for 2 minutes. Add egg yolks and vanilla then beat well and heat gently but do not boil then leave until cold. Drain the fruits and spread the cold vanilla cream into the case and arrange the fruit on top of the Meringue Fruit Flan.

Enjoy your freshly made Meringue Fruit Flan!
