Gluten-Free Kiwi Lime Flan:

Beautifully jeweled fruit flans often adorn European bakery shops. Occasionally, you can find a similar item in the USA. However, the flavors never seem to be up to par. Indeed, this Kiwi fruit flan will not disappoint. Due to topping the flan cake with custard this cake is best eaten within the first day but can be kept for up to two days.

Nevertheless, this Flan is versatile as it can be topped with any fresh fruit of your choice. In any case, the flan can also be altered by adding a different filling.

Indeed, for an even more colorful tart combine green and yellow kiwi. In conclusion, it would be the perfect Saint Patrick’s Day dessert.

What Is A Flan/Tart Pan:
