Desserts: Limeña Suspiros

Ingredients (for 6 people)

  • 1 large can of evaporated milk
  • 1 large can of condensed milk
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 glass of port wine (approx.)
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • Ground cinnamon

Preparation

In a pot, pour both cans of milk and cook until you obtain a fairly thick cream. Remove from heat and add the egg yolks and vanilla. Mix well and let cool. Place the preparation in a large dessert bowl or in individual dishes.

Place the sugar in a saucepan and cover with the port wine; boil until you get a syrup thick enough not to drip. Set aside. Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks and gradually add the syrup in a thin stream while beating until the mixture cools. Cover the milk cream with this preparation and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Let cool and serve.
