This is a Dominican dessert that resembles flan in appearance, but has a much lighter texture. I have replaced coconut milk for the evaporated milk from the original recipe to add an extra layer of flavor.
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. To make caramel, mix sugar and water. Cook in a heavy saucepan over low heat until thick, light brown caramel syrup forms.
3. Pour carefully into a 9" baking pan and cover the bottom and sides of the pan. Be careful, as hot caramel is indeed very hot and the pan will get very hot too.
4. For the custard, mix together eggs, sweetened condensed milk and coconut milk. Pass mixture through a sieve to get rid of undissolved egg parts. Pour carefully into baking pan, trying not to disturb the caramel layer.
5. Bake in hot water bath (bain marie) in oven for an hour or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool down to room temperature.
7. Loosen edges of quesillo, place a serving dish on top of the baking dish (one which will retain the syrup) and invert.
8. Chill thoroughly before serving. Garnish with toasted coconut if desired.
You can also make this dessert in individual ramekins.
