Michelle's Freefrom Hot Chocolate Flan

Corn, gluten, lactose, milk, nightshade, nut, peanut, sesame, soya & wheat free (depending on pastry ingredients)

This is very luscious but very quick to make. If you are doing it for a party you can make the chocolate filling, including folding in the egg whites, ahead of time and just leave it in the fridge. When you are ready to cook it, spoon the filling into the pastry case - and cook.
