Quesillo

Ingredients

• 200g sugar (for caramel)
• 60ml water
• 5 eggs
• 1 can condensed milk
• 500ml whole milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tbsp rum (optional)

Instructions

1. Make caramel: heat sugar with water until deep amber; pour into a flan tin.
2. Whisk eggs, condensed milk, milk, vanilla and rum (don't over-aerate — quesillo should be slightly holey).
3. Pour through a sieve over the caramel.
4. Cover with foil and bake in a bain-marie at 180C for 50-60 minutes.
5. Cool, then chill overnight.
6. Invert onto a plate so the caramel runs over.

Serving suggestions

• Best chilled.
