Brazo de Mercedes Cupcakes Recipe

​INGREDIENTS:
Filling:
  • 10 egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 can (14 oz) condensed milk 
  • confectioners/powdered sugar​
Meringue: 
  • 10 egg whites 
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar 
  • 3/4 cup sugar ​

​PREPARE THE MERINGUE:
  • Beat the egg whites using an electric mixer. 
  • Add cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add the sugar. Continue mixing until texture is semi-firm.
  • Line a muffin pan with sturdy cups or baking cupcake liners that can stand on their own. If you use a regular liner, the meringue will shrink. 
  • Pipe the meringue using a star tip. Make sure to leave a hole in the center for the filling later. 
  • Bake at  350 deg F. for 15-18 minutes or until top of meringue turns light to medium brown. (Oven temp varies. Check your product before the set time.)
  • Remove from oven. Set Aside.
​

​PREPARE THE FILLING (WHILE THE MERINGUE IS STILL IN THE OVEN):
  • In a sauce pan, combine condensed milk, egg yolks and vanilla. 
  • Simmer over low heat while stirring constantly until mixture becomes thick. 
  • Remove from heat. Set aside. Let it cool.

PREPARING THE CUPCAKES:
  • After baking,  cool for a bit then pipe the filling into the center of the meringue cupcakes.
  • Lastly, dust the cupcakes with powdered sugar.

   *** Yields 18 cupcakes
