Quesillo, also known as Venezuelan flan, is a creamy and smooth dessert that will delight your taste buds. Made with simple ingredients, this homemade recipe is easy to follow and will result in a mouthwatering final product. Let’s dive right into it!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 can of condensed milk
  • 1 can of evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions:

Step 1: Preparing the Caramel Sauce

Start by melting the sugar in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until it becomes a smooth golden caramel. Be careful not to burn it! Once ready, pour the caramel into a flan mold or individual ramekins, coating the bottom evenly.

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

Before moving forward, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the desired temperature by the time your quesillo is ready to bake.

Step 3: Preparing the Quesillo Mixture

In a blender, combine the eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Blend on high until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Straining the Mixture

To achieve the perfect consistency, strain the quesillo mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. This step ensures a silky and lump-free dessert.

Step 5: Baking the Quesillo

Place the flan mold or ramekins on a baking dish and carefully pour the quesillo mixture into the prepared caramel-coated mold(s). Create a water bath by filling the baking dish with hot water, about halfway up the sides of the mold(s). This gentle cooking technique will result in a moist and evenly cooked quesillo.

Step 6: Baking Time

Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes. Keep an eye on the quesillo as it bakes, and once it’s golden and firm around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center, it’s ready to be removed from the oven.

Step 7: Cooling and Refrigerating

Take the quesillo out of the oven and allow it to cool completely. Once at room temperature, refrigerate the quesillo for a minimum of 4 hours, ideally overnight, to ensure it sets properly.

Step 8: Serving and Enjoying

When you’re ready to indulge, run a knife along the edges of the mold(s) to loosen the quesillo. Place a serving dish over the mold(s) and quickly flip it, allowing the caramel sauce to gracefully flow over the top. Remove the mold(s) to reveal your beautiful homemade quesillo. Slice it, garnish if desired, and enjoy every spoonful!

Now that you know how to make homemade quesillo, surprise your family and friends with this delightful Venezuelan dessert. Its creamy texture and rich flavors will undoubtedly make it a favorite among your loved ones. Whether you enjoy it as a treat after dinner or as the star of a special occasion, quesillo will always bring joy and satisfaction to those who taste it. Happy cooking!
