Chilean Leche Asada

★★★★★

5 from 2 reviews

A traditional Chilean dessert.

  • Total Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8

Ingredients

Units
  • 1 (14 oz.) can of sweetened condensed milk or 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups of milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

for caramel:

  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1/4 cup of water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F or 180C.
  2. Make the caramel: In a small pot, combine the sugar and water, put over medium heat, and let boil. It is a good idea to moisten the pot walls so that they do not become sugary afterward. Let boil, reduce the heat, and keep boiling gently until medium pale caramel forms (tea-colored). Please do not neglect the pot because it burns very fast. Do not stir.

  3. Cover the baking dish (8″ x8″) with the hot caramel. Turn the mold carefully so that the caramel covers the walls. The mold is going to get hot, be careful. The caramel will solidify. It is normal.

  5. Bake until firm and brown, 50-60 minutes. I will rise in the oven and then collapse. It’s normal.
  6. Let cool and serve. Keep refrigerated.

Notes

Variation with apple: Peel and chop thin slices of an apple—place at the bottom of the mold. Pour the caramel over the apples. Continue with the recipe.
