Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 15 min.

Place a circle 20 cm in diameter and 4.5 cm high on a sheet of baking paper on a baking sheet.

Spread with 300 g shortcrust pastry (pâte brisée) and fill the circle, leaving the pastry overhanging the top.

Place in the fridge.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F).

Stage 2 - ⌛ 20 min.

Sesame flan mixture

Prepare 800 g paris flan filling, and before thickening it over low heat, add 80 g Black sesame paste then mix carefully, the mixture turns completely grey which is normal.

Stage 3

Thicken over a low heat, and as for a classic mixture, finish off with the butter and the mixer to obtain a smooth mixture.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 2 min.

Assembly

Take the circle and pastry out of the fridge.

This is not essential, but I advise you to temporarily remove the circle + pastry, sprinkle on the baking sheet 1 tablespoon caster sugar and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds...

Stage 5 - ⌛ 2 min.

...before placing the pastry circle back on top. This improves the crispness of the flan pastry and adds a little sesame crunch too.

Trim and remove the excess pastry from the edge of the circle.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 2 min.

Line the pastry base with a sheet of baking paper, then fill with ceramic beads or equivalent.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 20 min.

Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Remove paper and beads.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 1 min.

Pour the mixture into the pastry base.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 30 min.

Baking the flan

And bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, keeping an eye on the color of the pastry.

Stage 10

Remove the ring once the flan is warm, then chill in the fridge before serving.

Remarks

To accentuate the sesame aspect, you can add a few roasted sesame seeds when you prepare the shortcrust pastry.

For decoration, you can also sprinkle the top of the flan with a few white sesame seeds, for a black-and-white contrast.

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film.
