Recipe Step by Step

Step01

COCOA SHORTCRUST PASTRY

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Freeze for: 4 hours

75 g Lupin flour
100 g Potato starch
25 g Cocoa powder
60 g Almond flour
60 g Confectioner’s sugar
2 g Salt
50 g Flavorless oil
30 g Water

Sift all the dry ingredients together. Add the flavorless oil and mix using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer until the texture is crumbly.
Add water and stir until a homogeneous dough forms. Immediately spread out the dough to a depth of 2.5mm between 2 sheets of parchment paper.
Use a 14cm-diameter ring to cut out a circle of dough, then cut out some strips to make the flan’s edges.
Place the dough in the freezer for 4 hours to make lining the mold easier.

ASSEMBLY

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Refrigerate for: 1 hour
Bake for: 2 × 25 minutes

Grease the ring, then line it with the cocoa shortcrust pastry. Layer on an ovenproof sheet of plastic, then put in place some rice, lentils or something similarly weighty, so that the case’s edges don’t collapse during baking. Bake the pastry at 300°F (150°C) for approx. 25 minutes. Leave to cool, then remove the weight and plastic sheet.
Make the flan mixture and pour it into the pastry case.
Refrigerate for 1 hour, then bake at 390°F (200°C) for approx. 25 minutes.
