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. In fact, Swedish Vanilla Sauce would go extremely well with this cake, as well. Not to mention that it is a beautiful sight to look at. Especially, since I don’t have an drawing ability. My only art canvas is in the kitchen where the ingredients are my paints. My recipes are my works of art that I share with you.

In any case, a flan pan is a necessity for this recipe and can be found on Amazon along with monk fruit sweetener, almond flour, cassava flour, and baking powder.
