Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield Eight to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound dried prunes, pitted
3 tablespoons Armagnac or Cognac
1 teaspoon unsalted butter for the baking dish
1 teaspoon unbleached all-purpose flour for the baking dish
5 tablespoons sugar
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Two days before preparing the flan, toss the prunes with Armagnac or Cognac, cover securely and set aside to marinate. (If time is limited, you can skip the marinade and simply toss the prunes with the spirits, although the two-day marinade will offer a richer, more flavorful dessert.)
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Butter and flour a 10 1/2-inch straight-sided ceramic baking dish.
  • Add one tablespoon of sugar to the marinated prunes and toss. Place them on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, forming a single, tight layer that thoroughly covers the bottom of the dish.
  • Place the eggs and three tablespoons of sugar in a large bowl and, using a whisk or electric mixer, beat until well blended. Add the flour and mix well. Add the milk and mix well. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake until bubbly and brown, about 45 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar and allow to cool. Serve at room temperature. This is just as delicious the next day.

I don't recommend this recipe. It's too complicated and the end result isn't worth the effort.

This tart was a bit disappointing. The flavor was bland and the texture was dry.

The tart crust was too hard. I think I rolled it out too thin.

The custard filling didn't set properly. I think I overcooked it.

This tart is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted almond flour for the all-purpose flour in the tart crust. It turned out great!

This is my new favorite tart recipe! The prune custard filling is so smooth and creamy, and the tart crust is the perfect balance of flaky and crispy.

This tart was easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made tart crust to save time, and it still tasted delicious.
