Tocino el Cielo


The name of this dessert literally mean "bacon heaven".
As much as I love bacon this dessert has nothing to do with bacon. As for the genesis of this name I would love to find out.

ingredients
1 lb. sugar
12 oz. full cream or 1 can evaporated milk with cream (this is what is used here)
1 can condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla
6 eggs
1/2 cup grated coconut
1 baking dish around 11'x6'\

Heat oven to 350 degrees
melt 1/2 cup sugar in small pan to caramelize
when completely melted pour in baking dish to coat the bottom and set aside
In blender place break the 6 eggs and blend for just about 3 secs
add the cream, vanilla, coconut and blend for another 5 secs
pour into baking dish with caramel
and bake in oven for about 1 hr.

When dish is done
get the serving tray and place on top of the baking dish
very carefully with towels of hot pads pickup up both and flip the dish onto the serving tray
place on a table and gently giggle the baking dish away from the serving tray leaving the caramel side as a top.
Cool and keep in refrigerator until ready to use.

Easy to make and truly delicious or as they say here Muy Rico!

enjoy
