How To Make It

Step 1: We begin the preparation of our quesillo, for this, in a pot at medium low temperature, add the sugar, water and let it cook until it takes a golden color (as I show you in the video, be careful with the temperature, it should not be too high because it could burn the caramel), this process will take about 15 minutes.

Step 3: Once we have the caramel ready, we are going to pour it into the container where we will prepare our quesillo and turn it so that it covers part of the walls of the container (be careful not to burn yourself, the caramel reaches temperatures up to 220 ºC / 428 °F and can cause serious burns) then we pour the quesillo mixture, cover it, place it inside a pot with boiling water (the water should cover only half of the container) cover the pot and let it cook over medium heat for 45 minutes. (it is important to use a container that closes very well, since water could enter the mixture and ruin our quesillo) you can also cook the quesillo in the oven, the temperature would be 180 ºC / 356 °F for a time of 50 minutes.

Step 4: Once the cooking time is over, we remove our quesillo from the fire and let it cool completely, once cooled, we take it to the refrigerator for 4 hours. Once the hours are over, unmold it on a plate (as I show you in the video) and our delicious Venezuelan quesillo is ready.

Keep a medium-low temperature while making the caramel and watch it constantly to avoid burning.

What do I do if the caramel hardens before pouring the quesillo mixture?

If the caramel hardens, slightly heat the pan until the caramel becomes liquid again before pouring in the quesillo mixture.
