Pistachio Parisian Flan — The French Dessert Born From a Costco Find and a Dubai Chocolate Obsession

My daughter spotted pistachio paste at Costco and asked me to make something with it. So I did what any French home cook would do — I made a Parisian flan. Dark brown on top, silky light green inside, deeply pistachio in flavor with a floral note of orange blossom water. If you love Dubai chocolate, this is the French dessert you have been waiting for.

🍃 PISTACHIO PARISIAN FLAN

INGREDIENTS:
• 1 sheet puff pastry (homemade or store-bought)
• 4 eggs
• 150g granulated sugar
• 90g cornstarch
• 100g pistachio paste (found at Costco!)

• 500ml whole milk
• 500ml heavy cream

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Butter a deep round baking dish with detachable sides.
2. Roll out puff pastry and lay it in the dish, pressing up the sides. Prick the base all over with a fork.
3. In a saucepan, mix in this order: eggs, sugar, orange blossom water, vanilla, pistachio paste, cream, cornstarch, milk. Stir well until smooth.
4. Warm the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens.
5. Pour into your pastry-lined dish and smooth the top as flat as possible.
6. Bake at 355°F for 45 minutes (or longer if needed) until set.
7. Broil on high for the last 2 minutes to get a deep golden brown top.
8. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
