Suspiro Limeño

• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 3 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 large egg whites

Method

1. 1

   In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and egg yolks. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool slightly.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until the mixture is glossy and holds stiff peaks.

4. 4

   Carefully layer the cooled milk mixture into serving cups, then top with the meringue, spreading it evenly over the milk layer.

5. 5

   Use a kitchen torch or broiler to lightly toast the meringue until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.

6. 6

   Sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
