  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 10 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (155 g)
  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, sulphite

Ingredients

  • 60 g Dulce de leche
  • 30 g Evaporated milk
  • 30 g Egg whites, raw
  • 20 g Sugar
  • 15 g Wine, fortified, sweet
  • 0.2 g Cinnamon

Method

  1. Warm the dulce de leche gently with the evaporated milk, stirring until smooth and pourable, then divide into a serving glass and chill.
  2. Simmer the sugar with the port wine until it reaches a light syrup stage, a few minutes.
  3. Whip the egg whites to soft peaks, then slowly drizzle in the hot syrup in a thin stream while whisking constantly, so the heat scalds the egg white through, continuing to whip until the meringue is glossy and holds stiff peaks; use pasteurized egg whites, or serve only to those who are not pregnant, very young, elderly or immunocompromised, since the meringue is not fully cooked.
  4. Pipe or spoon the meringue on top of the chilled manjar blanco base.
  5. Dust with a little cinnamon and serve chilled.
