One serving has 347 kcal and 10 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of riboflavin (44%), phosphorus (26%) and calcium (23%). Ready in 25 minutes.

- 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
- Warm the dulce de leche gently with the evaporated milk, stirring until smooth and pourable, then divide into a serving glass and chill.
- Simmer the sugar with the port wine until it reaches a light syrup stage, a few minutes.
- 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.
- Pipe or spoon the meringue on top of the chilled manjar blanco base.
- Dust with a little cinnamon and serve chilled.
