Para ser una persona que no gusta de dulce, el quesillo es una de mis debilidades, me encanta la textura cremoso y acaramelada que tiene, creo que este es el segundo quesillo que hago en mi vida, no soy muy diestra a la hora de hacer postres, con comida salada me siento segura, incluso admito que experimentar, añadir ingredientes, probar mezclas me emociona, pero cuando hablamos de postres me lleno de nervios, la repostería es un arte de precisión, medidas, y algo no está bien calculado todo puede salir mal, sin mencionar que hacer caramelo siempre ha resultado un reto, estoy mejorando, sin embargo, quedan muchas cosas por pulir, este quesillo lo hice para que mis compañeros de trabajo probaran la diferencia entre un quesillo y un pudim brasileño, mismos ingredientes, sabores parecidos,ñ y con una preparación totalmente diferente, son primos lejanos, la verdad les gustó mucho, aunque admiten preferir su pudim, es totalmente aceptable, que les guste el resultado para mí ya es ganar.
For someone who doesn't have a sweet tooth, quesillo is one of my weaknesses. I love its creamy, caramelized texture. I think this is only the second quesillo I've ever made. I'm not very skilled at making desserts. I feel confident with savory foods, and I even admit that experimenting, adding ingredients, and trying new combinations excites me. But when it comes to desserts, I get nervous. Baking is an art of precision and measurements, and if something isn't calculated correctly, everything can go wrong. Not to mention that making caramel has always been a challenge for me. I'm improving, however, there are still many things to refine. I made this quesillo so my coworkers could taste the difference between a quesillo and a Brazilian pudim. They have the same ingredients and similar flavors, but the preparation is totally different. They are distant cousins. The truth is, they really liked it, although they admit they prefer their pudim. That's totally acceptable. The fact that they like the result is already a win for me.
INGREDIENTES:
INGREDIENTS:
395 ml de leche condensada, 395 ml de leche entera, 6 huevos, vainilla al gusto, 1 taza de azúcar.
395 ml condensed milk, 395 ml whole milk, 6 eggs, vanilla to taste, 1 cup sugar.
PASO A PASO:
STEP BY STEP:
El proceso es simple, solo tenemos que mezcla todo, tomaremos un recipiente y vamos a mezclar la leche condensada, con la leche entera y los huevos, añadan un toque de vainilla, solo un toque, incorporen muy bien, lo pueden hacer solo un batidor o usar la licuadora si tienen alguna.
The process is simple. Just mix everything together. Take a bowl and mix the condensed milk with the whole milk and eggs. Add a dash of vanilla, just a dash, and mix well. You can do this with a whisk or use a blender if you have one.
Para hacer el caramelo usaremos el mismo recipiente donde vamos a cocinar el quesillo, vertemos el azúcar y llevamos al fuego, no es necesario colocar agua, solo dejamos derretir el azúcar hasta formar un caramelo claro, deben estar atentos a qué no se queme, esparzan por todo el recipiente y dejen enfriar.
To make the caramel, we will use the same container where we are going to cook the cheese. Pour the sugar into it and place it on the heat. There is no need to add water; just let the sugar melt until it forms a light caramel. Be careful not to let it burn. Spread it throughout the container and leave it to cool.
Para hacer este quesillo no se necesita horno, tomamos una olla grande, añadimos un poco de agua que al introducir nuestro recipiente sellado cubra al menos la mitad, colocamos una tapa, y dejamos cocinar a fuego alto durante 1 hora, al pasar la hora verificamos que este cocido y retiramos del fuego, no dejen que el agua se consuma al cocinar, siempre deben revisar, y si es necesario añadir más.
To make this cheese, you don't need an oven. Take a large pot, add a little water so that when you place your sealed container in it, it covers at least half of it, put a lid on, and cook over high heat for 1 hour. After an hour, check that it is cooked and remove from the heat. Don't let the water boil away while cooking; always check it and add more if necessary.
If you don't like quesillo cheese, you'll love this caramelized treat. If I can make it, so can you, not to mention that you don't need to spend a lot of money to enjoy a delicious dessert in the afternoon. My recommendation is to let it cool. Although making caramel can be challenging, if you follow my instructions, you can do it. Little by little, I'm losing my fear, and my caramels are getting better and better. So, the idea is to try and practice until you get it right. Let me know what you think of this dessert in the comments. Thank you for reading.
