Flan Pâtissier à la Vanille

A Timeless French Classic of Custard and Vanilla Bean

Our Flan Pâtissier is a tribute to the golden age of French baking. It is a dessert of delightful contrasts—starting with a sturdy, slightly salty Pâte Brisée (shortcrust pastry) that provides a crisp, structural snap against the luscious, wobbly heart of the tart.

The custard itself is a masterpiece of patience. We infuse whole farm milk and heavy cream with an abundance of Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans, slow-cooking the mixture until it reaches a dense, silky consistency. Once poured into the shell, it is baked at a high temperature to achieve the signature “burnt” leopard-spotted top—a caramelized skin that adds a toasted marshmallow note to the floral vanilla. Thick, rich, and deeply satisfying, our flan is a sophisticated slice of Parisian tradition.
