Strawberry Cointreau Sour Cream Custard Flan

Strawberry Cointreau Sour Cream Custard Flan. No need to let your guests know just how easy it is to make this luscious, creamy dessert with boozy berries.

Strawberry Cointreau Sour Cream Custard Flan.

Strawberry Cointreau Sour Cream Custard Flan is one of many variations of this dessert that we have made hundreds of times at our house over the years.

Practically any fruit topping is great with creamy and oh-so-easy baked custard flan. It is an absolute go-to recipe in our family and no doubt the dessert that I have made the most times in my life.

Strawberry Cointreau Sour Cream Custard Flan

Dinner guests often request it in advance! Most often, we are happy to fulfill the request because it is just so quick and easy to prepare.

You will literally have this in the oven in minutes but your guests will think you slaved over it.

When serving this flan, I like to use extra sliced strawberries, just for garnish. I then bring the marinated strawberries to the table to add them over the top of the slices when serving.

Adding the soaked strawberries directly to the top of the flan can soak the crust can make it too wet.

Ingredients

For the marinated strawberries

Toggle ingredient group

• 2 pounds strawberries
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 3 tbsp Cointreau or other orange liqueur

For the graham crumb crust

Toggle ingredient group

• 2 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup melted butter
• ¼ cup sugar

For the sour cream custard

Toggle ingredient group

• 3 cups sour cream, Three, 8 oz tubs, 18% milk fat
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 3 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

For the marinated strawberries

1. Cut into quarters or slices and sprinkle with the sugar and Cointreau. (If you want to make this without alcohol, just substitute the Cointreau for 1 tbsp finely minced orange zest.) Allow the strawberries to marinate for an hour or two, tossing the berries occasionally.

For the graham crumb crust

1. Mix the crumbs, butter and sugar together well. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of the greased springform pan to about a ½ inch from the top of the pan. I line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easy release from the pan once the dessert has cooled.

For the sour cream custard

1. For the custard part of this desert it is important to use full fat sour cream or the filling will not set. I use 18% milk fat sour cream that is sometimes sold as “restaurant style” or “extra thick”.
2. Whisk together the sour cream, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Pour into the prepared graham crumb crust and bake at 325 degrees F for 60-65 minutes. The custard will still be a little jiggly when done and just beginning to brown very slightly at the edges. Allow the flan to cool to room temperature then refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving with the marinated strawberries on top.
