A GAPS Friendly Very, Berry Cream Flan!

The theme for the last few blogs have been recipes for desserts. Here's another one, no one will ever guess this flan/pie is made with coconut milk, it's so rich. 

You can personalize your flan by choosing the berry of your preference. I have made one with blueberries and the other with raspberries.


Raspberry Cream Flan
Ingredients for two flans:
Crust enough for two flans:
1 1/2 cup flaked or shredded, unsweetened coconut (without sulfites)
6 pitted Medjool dates
3 tbsp coconut oil
1 egg white
1 tsp vanilla (optional)

Topping for two flans:
4 cups coconut milk
2 eggs + 1 egg yolk
¼ cup honey
10 drops stevia
Blueberry Cream Flan
4 tsp grated lemon and orange rind
2 tsp vanilla
1 pack of gelatin
1 1/2 cups organic berries of your choice

 Crust:
In food processor, combine the ingredients for the crust, in the order written, pulsing after each addition. Press into bottom of a square cake pan, springform, or flan pan. Sprinkle with berries. 

Topping:
Using the same food processor, add all ingredients and blend until smooth and slightly fluffy. Pour over berries.

Bake in 350°F/180° oven for 60-70 minutes or until golden.


This berry cream flan can be served warm or cold. One pie makes 12 servings.
