Delicious Peach “Quesillo” Venezuelan Pudding
Venezuelan Gastronomy has a vast amount of sweet recipes. And the classic “quesillo” is in almost every birthday party along with the birthday cake.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup of condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A big can of canned peaches about 5 peaches
- 1 big peach to decorate.
For the Caramel
- 6 tbsp white granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175ºC
- In a blender mix the eggs, the condensed milk, the peaches and the vanilla extract in low speed for 4 minutes. (note 1)
- In a small pan add the sugar and the water and stir incessantly until the caramel is formed. (note 2)
- Put the caramel at the bottom of the pan and let it chill for 2 minutes.
- Pour the mix in the pan and take to the oven for 30 minutes in bain-marie. (note 3)
- Take the flan out of the oven and let it chill. Take it to the fridge for at least 1 hour. Decorate it with sliced peaches.
Notes
- If you use the blender in high speed the flan will be more compact and with fewer “holes”. When you use the low speed you let air into the mix and this creates the “holes”.
- The consistency must be thick but not until the point that the caramel is hard to stir. The color must be a glossy brown. One tip to know that it’s done is to stop stirring when you see small bubbles in the center of the pan (you can see the picture above as an example).
