Coconut and white chocolate cheese
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 200 grams of white chocolate
- 1 cup of condensed milk
- 5 eggs at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon orange rum
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 cup of grated coconut
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the cup of sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, without touching it, until it forms a caramel. Pour it into a quesillo mold, covering the bottom and sides very well.
- Heat the coconut milk, remove it from the heat and add the chopped white chocolate. Let it rest for two minutes and stir it until it is completely dissolved.
- Place the coconut cream with chocolate, the condensed milk, the eggs, the orange rum, the cinnamon and the grated coconut in the blender. Process them until you get a homogeneous mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the previously caramelized mold. Cover it with aluminum foil and place it in the oven in a bain-marie (putting it into a larger dish with water).
- Bake it for an hour or until the center has set. Let it rest for approximately two hours and refrigerate it. Heat it a little on a stove to unmold it.
