Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 Kesio (Caramel Custard - Serves 4) This is Aruba's version of what is known in the US as 'flan' and in Europe as 'creme caramel'. Kesio is also the papiamento spelling for 'quesillo' in Spanish. In the top of a Double boiler, but directly over a low flame, place: 3 Tbs. Sugar Melt slowly, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the sugar becomes a caramel syrup. Remove from fire and cool. Slightly beat: 4 eggs Pinch of salt Add gradually: 4 Tbs. Sugar Beat well until the sugar is dissolved. Slowly stir in: 1 ½ cups hot milk 1 tsp. vanilla Strain the mixture into the double boiler containing the caramelized sugar. Place over gently simmering water for about forty minutes, or until a silver knife inserted in the center comes out free of custard. Remove from the fire, and cool immediately in the double boiler. At serving time unmold the kesio on to a shallow platter. If some of the caramel clings to the pan, heat gently until it melts. Cool slightly and pour over the unmolded kesio.
