Ingredients
  

  • 1 14- ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon dark rum
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  • Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
  • In a blender, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, dark rum, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  • Place the baking dish in a larger pan and fill the larger pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the baking dish to create a water bath.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 75 minutes or until the center is just set.
  • Remove the quesillo from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
