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 drawing ability.

What Is A Flan/Tart Pan:
What is a flan/tart pan? It is a pan with a plateau that has raised edges around it thereby making it the perfect flan/tart to hold a custard or pudding-like filling and topping it with fresh fruit. Lastly, glazing it so that the fresh fruit shines and glimmers. Thereby giving it an elegant look and eye appeal. 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.
