1

In a saucepan, add 150 g of sugar and cook over medium-low heat without stirring until it melts and turns golden brown.

2

Once the caramel is ready, carefully pour it into a round baking dish (17 cm in diameter and 6 cm high), ensuring it covers the base completely.

3

In a blender, combine 5 eggs, 354 ml of evaporated milk, 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract, 396 g of sweetened condensed milk, and 380 g of dulce de leche.

4

Blend the mixture at maximum speed until smooth.

5

Place the baking dish with caramel into a larger tray for a water bath and pour the quesillo mixture over the caramel.

6

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.

7

Preheat the oven to 185ºC (365ºF) and place the baking dish inside, adding hot water to the external tray.

8

Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a knife; it should come out slightly moist but without liquid residue.

9

Let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating for a minimum of 5 hours or overnight.

10

Once chilled, remove the aluminum foil and use a spatula or knife to loosen the edges from the baking dish.

11

Invert the quesillo onto a plate in one swift motion, ensuring it releases evenly.

12

Decorate with dulce de leche rosettes using a piping nozzle.
