Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
- 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup port wine
- ground cinnamon
Equipment
- Stand mixer
Instructions
- In a heavy saucepan, cook the evaporated milk, the sweetened condensed milk and the vanilla extract over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and turns to a caramel color, for about 40 minutes. Take off the heat.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg yolks in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add a couple tablespoons of the hot milk mix and keep beating for a few seconds. Pour everything in the saucepan. Mix carefully and reserve.
- In another saucepan, mix the sugar and Port wine. Boil over high heat for 6 minutes without stirring. The syrup is ready when it forms a caramel thread when dropped from a spoon.
- Meanwhile, beat the egg whites at high speed until soft peaks form.
- Add the hot syrup in a thin and steady stream, beating vigorously until the resulting meringue is cold.
- Pour the cooked milk mixture (manjar blanco) in individual cups. Cover with meringue in a decorative fashion by using a piping bag and a decorative tip.
- Dust with ground cinnamon.
- Serve cold or at room temperature.
