Ingredients

Aimee’s Fruit Flan
Crust-
3/4 cup Soft butter
1/2 cup Confectioner sugar
1 1/2 (one and One half) cup flour
Mix well and press into 11 or 12' pan,
Bake 300* until light brown. cool.
Middle-
10 oz Vanilla baking chips
1/4 cup Whipping cream
8 oz Cream cheese
First melt chips and cream, then cream cheese.
when it' S well-mixed, spread over (cooled) crust.
Chill about 1/2 hour
Once chilled, arrange fruit to your liking. (mandarin oranges,
Pineapple, kiwi, raspberries, whatever. If you use pineapple, reserve 1/2 cup
The pineapple juice for glaze.
Glaze-
3 tablespoons Sugar
2 tsp Cornstarch
1/2 tsp Lemon juice
1/2 cup Pineapple juice
Bring glaze to a boil and continue to boil over medium heat 3 minutes,
Then put over fruit.
(I double the glaze recipe and make it really sour, I add the juice of
An entire lemon, as opposed to just 1/2 tsp.)
The glaze ingredients above are hardly sufficient to cover the whole
Thing and I think that the crust and middle part are too sweet, so I try
to balance it With a really tart glaze, but do what ya like!

Cook's Notes

(I double the glaze recipe and make it really sour, I add the juice of an entire lemon, as opposed to just 1/2 tsp.) The glaze ingredients above are hardly sufficient to cover the whole thing and I think that the crust and middle part are too sweet, so I try to balance it with a really tart glaze, but do what ya like!
