I made this with strawberries and blackberries and it was delicious...a simple, not-too-sweet flan. Will use this recipe throughout the summer. Can't wait for peaches to come in season!
I used 2% milk. Maybe I should have used whole milk, but it takes much, much longer than 40 minutes for this to set. At least double that time.

It took over an hour for this to "just set"! This recipe would have set up a little faster with 1/2 cup flour added.
