Strawberry Cream Cheese Flan

Dessert | Valentine's Day

Strawberry Cream Cheese Flan

ByLinda Nortje

Strawberry Cream Cheese Flan is topped with fresh Strawberries and a cream cheese filling make this a delicious, creamy dessert recipe.

We are fortunate in the sense that Strawberries are always available in South-Africa.

Throughout Winter, although a bit smaller, one could get Strawberries at most supermarkets and fruit and vegetable markets.

Images and some text updated December 2020

I use a store-bought Flan Base (see image below), the filling is so quick to make and takes only an hour to set.

You can of course make your own Flan if you prefer. I just keep one of these store bought Flans on hand for a quick dessert.

This suited me just fine today, as I had some curtains to make and a few other bits and pieces for the kitchen and the laundry.

There was also no need to cook today, because there were quite a bit of left-overs from yesterdays braai (BBQ).

This Strawberry Creamy Flan is perfect for Valentine’s Day as well as Mother’s Day. And a winner when it is your turn to take the dessert to a potluck gathering.

Yum! This looks delicious! I'm jealous that you have access to fresh, yummy strawberries year round. They are getting kind of mushy here in the Midwest.
