Ingredients

8 unit eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 can Leche fresca

Instructions

  1. Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2. In a saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts and turns into a golden caramel. Pour the caramel into a round baking dish and swirl to coat the bottom.
  3. Step 3. In a blender, combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
  4. Step 4. Pour the mixture into the baking dish over the caramel.
  5. Step 5. Place the baking dish in a larger pan filled with hot water to create a water bath.
  6. Step 6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the crema volteada is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Step 7. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Step 8. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the dish and invert onto a serving plate. The caramel will flow over the crema volteada, creating a beautiful presentation.
  9. Step 9. Slice and enjoy this delicious Peruvian dessert!
