I made this to take to a dinner party - it looked spectacular and the glaze was delicious! I was pressed for time so I did a quick sweet pastry base and it turned out great. I'll try the recipe base next time. I thought the filling was a little bland - I'd like to try it with a custard/ patisserie cream type filling. Definitely one I will make again.

I made this for my daughters birthday. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out amazing. This was very easy not time consuming and definately will become a family favourite. Thank-you so much, a truly wonderful recipe.

Whatever you want to call it, it's delicious! I followed the recipe exactly (other than the glaze and fruit choices)and placed in an 11 1/2 inch tart pan. The crust turned out thick, but soft and yummy. I didn't have orange juice so I just subbed raspberry lemonade and omitted lemon juice. Slightly pink, but delish. Oh, and I only used 4 kiwi and it was wonderful!

No matter what the name - the basic recipe is very flexible - making it easy to swap out or switch out ingredients or parts like the crust. Despite a rather long list of ingredients you can make a respectable dessert quickly with substitutions. I've tried it as written, with a graham cracker crust from the store (quick but crust can get soggy), with different fruit choices, adding lemon juice and zest to the filling instead of vanilla, and with jam or jelly and water microwaved a few minutes for a glaze. Every time I make the dessert it's never quite the same as it depends on time available and the ingredients on hand. It is very good summer dessert when fresh fruit is abundant.

I have no intention of rating this wonderful dessert on whether it is called a flan or a tart - it depends what country you come from. Easy and light even with a layer of cream cheese. Always very well received, especially in the summer. Thanks for an excellent submission

It depends where you are from whether you call this a flan or tart. Where I come from we call this a flan & a delicious one at that.

This ia a delicious fruit tart. Not flan! Flan is a crustless, baked custard. I believe many more cooks would try this recipe if the name would be changed to: Fresh Fruit Tart. (It doesn't need to be made in a tart pan to be a tart.}
