• 400g tin condensed milk
• 400g tin evaporated milk
• 5 egg yolks
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Meringue: 3 egg whites, 200g sugar, 80ml water
• ground cinnamon

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Cook the two milks together over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, 25–30 min until thick, caramel-coloured and pulling from the pan.
2. Take it off the heat and beat in the yolks one at a time, fast, so they don't scramble. Add the vanilla.
3. Pour into glasses and cool completely.
4. Boil the sugar and water to 118°C. Whisk the whites to soft peaks, then pour the syrup in slowly while whisking.
5. Keep whisking until the meringue is stiff, glossy and cool — about 8 min.
6. Pipe over the cold manjar, dust with cinnamon. Named for a poet's wife; sweet enough to justify the drama.
