BRAZO DE MERCEDES (MERENGUE)

Ingredients

Meringue
12 pieces egg white
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
wax paper (so that your meringue won't stick to the pan or tray)


Filling
12 pieces egg yolks
1 cup condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp butter

Steps

Place the egg yolk in a pan and cook over low heat.
Add condensed milk, vanilla, and butter to the pan until it becomes thick.
Set aside to cool.
Put the egg white in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer. Then, blend in the cream of tartar.
Add butter to tray and place wax paper. Then spread the beaten egg white into a stainless steel tray and make sure it is even.
Bake at 300ºF (150ºC) until cooked.
Place aluminum foil a table and flip the baked egg whites to remove it from the tray.
Remove the wax paper and roulette the baked egg white with the filling.
Slice after chilling and eat.

Tips
Roll the baked egg white slowly.
Add butter on the tray so that the wax paper will stick.
Use fresh eggs for easier separation of egg yolk and egg white.
