Welcome to the channel and introduce the recipe for flan or quesillo with dulce de leche.

Gather ingredients: sugar, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, dulce de leche, and 8 eggs at room temperature.

Prepare the caramel by heating sugar in a saucepan over low heat until it turns amber, avoiding stirring to prevent crystallization.

Pour the caramel into an aluminum mold (18 cm x 10 cm) with a lid.

Break the eggs into a cup to check for quality before adding them to a bowl, then whisk until homogeneous.

Add 350 ml of evaporated milk to the egg mixture.

Add a can of sweetened condensed milk (approximately 395 grams).

Incorporate dulce de leche (about 395 grams) into the mixture, blending in a blender for a smooth texture.

Strain the mixture to remove bubbles for a smoother final product.

Pour the mixture into the prepared mold, using a spoon if necessary.

If the mold does not have a lid, cover it tightly with aluminum foil.

Place a cloth in the pressure cooker to stabilize the mold during cooking.

Add water to the pressure cooker until it reaches halfway up the mold.

Cover the pressure cooker tightly and cook for approximately 45 minutes.

Wait for the cooking time while discussing the history of flan and quesillo.

After 1 hour and 40 minutes, check the quesillo with a toothpick to ensure it is cooked through without lumps.

Let the quesillo cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, preferably 24 hours for best results.

Run a knife around the edges of the mold to loosen the quesillo before inverting it onto a serving plate.

Invert the mold to reveal the quesillo, showcasing its texture and caramel top.
