Ingredients
- 5 large eggs
- 1 can 14 oz condensed milk
- 1 can 14 oz whole milk (use the empty condensed milk can to measure)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar for caramel
Instructions
Prepare the Caramel:
- Heat the granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until it melts into a golden caramel.
- Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking mold, tilting it to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside.
Prepare the Quesillo Mixture:
- In a blender, combine the eggs, condensed milk, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
Assemble the Quesillo:
- Pour the mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking mold.
Bake in a Water Bath (Bain-Marie):
- Place the mold into a larger tray filled with hot water, ensuring the water reaches halfway up the sides of the mold.
- Cover the mold with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour.
Cool and Unmold:
- Let the quesillo cool completely before running a knife along the edges.
- Invert the mold onto a plate to release the quesillo.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice and serve cold with a drizzle of caramel from the mold.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or coconut flakes to the mixture before blending.
- Store quesillo in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
