Ingredients
    For the Caramel:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup water
    • For the Custard:
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 can 14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp dark rum (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
  1. 1

    1. Prepare the Caramel:

      • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then let it cook without stirring until the mixture turns a golden amber color.
      • Carefully pour the caramel into a 9-inch flan mold or round baking dish, tilting the dish to evenly coat the bottom with the caramel. Set aside to cool.

    2. Prepare the Custard:

      • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, vanilla extract, salt, and dark rum (if using). Whisk until well combined and smooth.
      • Carefully layer the custard mixture on top of the cooled caramel in the mold.

    3. Bake the Quesillo:

      • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
      • Place the flan mold inside a larger baking pan and fill the pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the mold, creating a water bath.
      • Carefully place the setup in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    4. Cool and Unmold:

      • Take the mold out of the water bath and let it cool down to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight for the best texture.
      • To unmold, run a knife along the edges and gently invert the mold onto a serving plate.

Note

Tips:

  • For a smooth texture: Strain the custard mixture before pouring it over the caramel.
  • Make-ahead: Quesillo tastes better when made the day before, allowing flavors to meld.
  • For a deeper caramel flavor: Let the caramel turn slightly darker, but be cautious not to burn it.
