The Flanboisier enchants as an exquisite treat, and even in its lighter variant, it remains delightful. It can easily be adapted into a gluten-free version, a blessing for those who need to avoid gluten. Raspberries make this tart a true delicacy, full of flavor and charm. Although the preparation of this tart is simple, it does require patience; resting overnight in the refrigerator elevates the Flanboisier to its culinary peak.

The raspberry is central to this dessert, a fruit with a history as rich as its flavor. According to ancient Greek myths, this delicate fruit, which was once white, turned red from the love and care of the nymph Ida, the nurse of Zeus. This myth reveals the roots of the scientific name ‘Rubus idaeus,’ or ‘bramble of Ida.’ Originally native to Western Europe, the wild raspberry, cherished in mountainous regions like the Alps and the Vosges, has traveled a long journey to the gardens of the Renaissance, where it eventually secured a prominent place in the 19th-century French culinary scene.

Our ‘Flanboisier’ is not only a celebration of this fruit but also a symbol of healthy indulgence. Emphasizing lightness—utilizing low-fat fromage blanc or skyr and the natural sweetness of ripe bananas and stevia—this recipe offers a dessert that is both nutritious and tempting. The subtle addition of unsweetened applesauce and the aroma of vanilla enhance the flavor without increasing the calories.

The preparation is a delightful endeavor, where the simple steps of mixing the ingredients and baking in the oven invite cooks of all levels to explore their culinary skills. The thin batter, though initially misleading, transforms in the oven into a tempting, soft flan that caresses the taste buds with each bite. The raspberries make it absolutely delicious!

Duration and Servings:

• Preparation Time: About 10 to 15 minutes for mixing the ingredients.
• Baking Time: 50 to 55 minutes.
• Cooling Time: At least 1 hour to room temperature, then preferably a night in the refrigerator.
• Total Time: Approximately 2 hours plus cooling time.

A Flanboisier of this size should be enough for 6 to 8 servings, depending on how large you cut the pieces. This light and fruity dessert is ideal for those looking for a tasty treat without too many calories.
