Prepare the ingredients including whisky and güisquil.

Cut the güisquil in half for easier cooking.

Boil water and add the güisquil and a clove of garlic, then add salt and cover.

After 15 minutes, check the güisquil with a knife to see if it's cooked.

Remove the güisquil from the water and let it cool.

Carefully scoop out the insides of the güisquil without breaking the skin.

Chop the insides of the güisquil and set aside.

In a preheated pan, add oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.

Add 2 chopped cloves of garlic and 1/2 small onion to sauté until fragrant.

Add the ham and a chicken bouillon cube, then mix well.

Incorporate the chopped güisquil and season with salt and black pepper.

Add 1/2 cup of cream to the mixture and stir until combined.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Grease a baking dish with vegetable shortening or butter.

Fill the güisquil skins with the ham and güisquil mixture.

Top with cheese (mozzarella or similar) if desired.

Bake in the oven until the cheese melts, about 30 minutes.

Serve the chancletas with rice and tortillas.
