Leche Asada

Prep: 10 mins
Total: 1 hr 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 quart - Milk
  • Zest of 1 - Lemon
  • 2 - Cinnamon Stick
  • 4 - Eggs
  • 1/2 cup - Sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour the milk into a saucepan along with the lemon zest and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, and cook for 5 minutes. Turn heat off, and allow to steep for 15 minutes. Gently beat the eggs and sugar together until the sugar has dissolved. Slowly beat in 1 cup of the hot milk, a little at a time, until it has been incorporated. Stir the egg mixture back into the hot milk, pour in the pisco, and mix until well combined. Pour the custard through a fine mesh sieve into a 2-quart ceramic casserole dish to remove the lemon zest and cinnamon. Bake in preheated oven until set, and browned on top, about 30 minutes. Chill before serving.
