Quesillo venezolano

Quesillo venezolano is a dessert similar to flan, made with eggs, condensed milk, whole milk, sugar, and caramelized sugar syrup. It gets its name from its creamy yet airy texture, which contains small holes resembling cheese (queso). To prepare quesillo, sugar is first caramelized in a mold, then the milk, eggs, and vanilla mixture is poured in and cooked using a bain-marie (water bath) method until set.

It is then chilled before serving, creating a smooth yet slightly porous texture. Quesillo is a popular dessert for celebrations, often enjoyed at birthdays, holidays, and family gatherings. It can be flavored with rum, coconut, or coffee, depending on regional variations.
