Tart kiwi and sweet blueberries make a unique salsa to dress your basic pork loin. This is a leaner cut of pork, so be sure not to overcook it; you can test the meat by slicing it with a paring knife or using an instant-read thermometer, which should register 145ºF.

Tips:
- For the perfect flan crust, use a combination of graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan and chill it before filling.
- To make the blueberry kiwi filling, use fresh, ripe blueberries and kiwis. Slice the kiwis thinly and toss them with the blueberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Pour the mixture into the chilled crust and bake until the filling is set.
- For a creamy, decadent flan, use a combination of heavy cream, evaporated milk, and condensed milk. Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract into the milk mixture until well combined.
- To prevent the flan from curdling, temper the eggs by slowly whisking the hot milk mixture into the beaten eggs. This will help to gradually raise the temperature of the eggs and prevent them from cooking too quickly.
- Bake the flan in a water bath. This will help to create a moist, evenly cooked flan. Place the springform pan inside a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with hot water. Bake the flan until the center is set.
- Chill the flan for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the flan to firm up.
Conclusion:
Blueberry kiwi flan is a delicious, refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, decadent filling and sweet, tangy blueberry kiwi topping, this flan is sure to be a hit. Follow the tips above to make the perfect blueberry kiwi flan every time.
