Terribly forgetful to post this recipe!!! I had photos’ project about a year ago for Natural Kiwifruit Del Miño based in Portugal. To create five dishes with kiwi as one of the main ingredients as well as the picture.s The photos should represent its logo colour, green and red, but the red should not overpower the green.

Since I was a full time student and part-time commercial kitchen staff at that time, I did that project for few months. I was glad that my client could understand my situation.

Me know Spanish? Big No! I had to figure out how to name this recipe in Spanish words. I asked Luciano, the one who works for the company and contacted me to do this project.

I still remember how hard I tried to make a fusion flan since I never made the classic one either. Played around with the measurement as this recipe was my own creation.

Did you know that the fuzzy kiwifruit is native to southern China? However, I know most people will think kiwi is a New Zealand thing. Cultivation of the fuzzy kiwifruit spread from China in the early 20th century, when seeds were introduced to New Zealand by Mary Isabel Fraser, the principal of Wanganui Girls’ College, who had been visiting mission schools in Yichang, China.

It would be a perfect treat for you who celebrate Christmas…

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Caramelize the Sugar for Topping
