Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 quart whole milk
1 lemon, zest cut off in 1/2-inch-wide strips
2 cinnamon sticks
4 eggs
½ cup white sugar
½ cup pisco

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Pour the milk into a saucepan along with the lemon zest and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, and cook for 5 minutes. Turn heat off, and allow to steep for 15 minutes.
  • Gently beat the eggs and sugar together until the sugar has dissolved. Slowly beat in 1 cup of the hot milk, a little at a time, until it has been incorporated. Stir the egg mixture back into the hot milk, pour in the pisco, and mix until well combined.
  • Pour the custard through a fine mesh sieve into a 2-quart ceramic casserole dish to remove the lemon zest and cinnamon. Bake in preheated oven until set, and browned on top, about 30 minutes. Chill before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. If you can, use queso fresco that is made with whole milk for a richer flavor.
  • Don't overcook the custard. The custard should be set but still slightly wobbly in the center. If you overcook it, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Let the leche asada cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the leche asada with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cinnamon sugar, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Leche asada con queso is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and variety of toppings, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give leche asada con queso a try.
