Tesco were doing a special with some fruit including mangoes and pineapples. Too good to miss, I thought.
First thing to do was fry the pineapple in a goodly scoop of butter and brown sugar. You really need to get some caramel going to bring out the flavour.
Peel and chop the mango flesh and reduce it to a luscious, aromatic paste.
Make a short crust flan using your favourite recipe. You could cheat and buy ready-made pastry, althought I'd never do that!
The topping is a packet of ground almonds sweetened with two or three tablespoons of honey, one of plain flour, a couple of eggs, butter and vanilla. You may need to add a drop of water if the mixture is too dry.
Load your flan with the fruit and top off with the almond paste.
Bake at 150 for about 40 mins until set.
Serve with creme fraise if you are a Southener or properly floating in bowl of custard if you are a real pudding-eater!
