Time 1h42m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 ⅛ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup white sugar
½ cup confectioners' sugar
½ cup butter
½ cup vegetable oil
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
1 cup fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
3 kiwifruit, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ cup white sugar
½ cup water
½ cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-by-15 inch jelly roll pan.
  • For the crust, sift together the flour, cream of tartar, and baking soda into a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, cream together white and confectioners' sugars, butter, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients. Blend well. Spread the dough evenly on the bottom of the greased pan. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  • For the filling, cream together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Spread over the cooled crust. Arrange the fruit on the cream cheese filling and refrigerate.
  • For the glaze, mix together the sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Whisk in the water, orange juice, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil gently for one minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
  • Spoon or brush the glaze evenly over the fruit. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

This flan is a work of art! It's so beautiful and delicious. I love the way the fruit filling peeks out from the crust. I've made this flan for special occasions and it's always a showstopper.

This flan is amazing! The crust is flaky and the fruit filling is bursting with flavor. I love that you can use any type of fruit you like. I've made this flan with berries, citrus fruits, and even tropical fruits. It's always a hit with my family an

This flan was a disaster! The crust was burnt and the fruit filling was runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This flan was okay, but nothing special. The crust was a bit dry and the fruit filling was a bit too tart for my taste. I probably won't be making this recipe again.

I was a bit disappointed with this flan. The crust was too thick and the fruit filling was bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different recipe.

This recipe was easy to follow and the flan turned out beautifully. The crust was perfectly golden and the fruit filling was bursting with flavor. I served it with a dollop of whipped cream and it was a hit with my family.

This fruit flan was a delightful treat! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the fruit filling was sweet and juicy. I especially loved the combination of berries and citrus fruits. I will definitely be making this again for my next party.
