For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of pisco (Peruvian brandy) to the dulce de leche base during cooking. The key to a stable meringue is ensuring your bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease. Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon to your liking. A pinch of cocoa powder can also be added for a delightful twist.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Prepare the Dulce de Leche Base: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and egg yolks until well combined. (2 minutes)
02
Step
30 mins
Cook the Base: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. This should take approximately 25-30 minutes. Be patient and maintain a gentle simmer to prevent scorching.
03
Step
3 hrs
Chill the Base: Pour the thickened mixture into a heatproof serving dish or individual ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the base to chill completely.
04
Step
7 mins
Prepare the Meringue: In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, beating continuously until stiff, glossy peaks form. (5-7 minutes)
05
Step
1 mins
Assemble the Dessert: Gently spread the meringue evenly over the chilled dulce de leche base.
06
Step
30 mins
Final Chill and Serve: Return the dessert to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the meringue to set slightly.
07
Step
1 mins
Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, dust the top of the meringue generously with ground cinnamon. Serve chilled and prepare to be enchanted!
