Notes
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
- Pastry case size - I use a 150g shortcrust pastry case, if using a larger pastry case, increase the amount of custard and strawberries used.
- Custard - be sure to use double thick custard as it sets firmer.
- Best served 2-3 hours after making - left any longer and the custard can start to soak into the pastry shell making it soggy.
- Storage - store any leftover flan in the fridge and consume within 2 days
- Freezing - I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
