You may not know that a truly Venezuelan quesillo (pudding) is the most requested food in any birthday party (after tequeños). It is one of the most famous Venezuelan desserts.
The Venezuelan quesillo looks similar to a pudding, but the texture and the taste are different. The main characteristic of a good quesillo is its holes, which makes it looks like a cheese.
