Flan with forest berries and almonds is an exquisite European dessert that combines a crispy shortcrust pastry with a rich berry filling. The history of flan traces back to classic French cuisine, where this delicate pie with various fillings became a popular treat. This version features a fragrant blend of lingonberries, black and red currants that provide a sweet-tart flavor and refreshing note. Almonds add a light nutty crunch, perfectly complementing the dessert's texture. Flan is served warm or chilled and can be garnished with powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It is a wonderful treat for cozy family evenings or festive tea parties, impressing with its simplicity and elegance.
