Venezuelan Flan (Quesillo)
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a small saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat until it turns into a golden caramel.
-
Pour the caramel into a flan mold or individual ramekins, swirling to coat the bottom.
-
In a blender, combine the eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
-
Pour the mixture into the flan mold or ramekins, on top of the caramel.
-
Place the flan mold or ramekins in a larger baking dish. Fill the larger dish with hot water, about halfway up the sides of the flan mold or ramekins.
-
Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the flan is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
-
Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
-
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Invert onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the top.
-
Slice and serve chilled.
