Hello My Dear Little Witches...!
Today I will share with you a recipe I made for my mother some time ago, a Choco Flan or Impossible Cake , which here in my land is also called Torta Quesillo, and well with that we were both pleased (she wanted cheese and I wanted to eat brownie), and my guests of honor, my aunts and grandmothers who are the spouses of My Mathias, each one with a particularity that defines them, one for her magical gifts and her joy, another for her friendship and constant support, and the other with her gentle character, are three little witches that I only hope God will give me a lot of life to enjoy them, just like my Beautiful Mother.
