Step-by-step

Choose your robot:
  1. Place the condensed milk and the evaporated milk in the mixing bowl and cook 20 min/100°C/speed 2 until the manjar thickens.
  2. Add the yolks and the vanilla and cook 3 min/90°C/speed 3.
  3. Pour the manjar into glasses and let it cool.
  4. Clean the mixing bowl well, place the butterfly and pour in the whites; whip 4 min/speed 3.5 until stiff peaks.
  5. In a separate pan make a syrup with the sugar and the port to soft ball stage.
  6. Pour the hot syrup in a stream over the whipped whites and beat 2 min/speed 3.5 until a firm meringue.
  7. Cover the manjar with the meringue and sprinkle cinnamon before serving.

Tips

  • The manjar should be thick but creamy so it does not run.
  • Pour the hot syrup slowly so it does not curdle the whites.
  • Serve cold to enjoy the contrast of textures.
