Suspiro a la limeña
A Peruvian dessert of milk-and-yolk cream topped with port Italian meringue and cinnamon. Makes 6 servings; times are approximate.
Thickened condensed and evaporated milk is combined with egg yolks and topped with whipped egg whites mixed with port syrup. The stated time is an estimate: cooking depends on how long the cream takes to thicken and the syrup to reach a thread stage.
