  • *When pourin the mixture over the caramel, use a spatula or the back of a spoon to prevent the caramel from blending with the quesillo.

  • *It's very important not to open the pot until it's entirely cooled down, this way the quesillo cooking process will continue.

  • *Unmould the quesillo when it's completely cool. You may put the jelly mould in the fridge to speed up the process.

  • *We used sweeteners, not sugar, in this recipe. However, due to its fat content, a moderate consumption is recommended for diabetics.
