​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 large cookie sheet with parchment paper greased with butter and spread the meringue evenly on top. 
  • Once spread evenly, comb the top of the meringue (I used fork).
  • Bake at  350 deg F. for 20 minutes or until top of meringue turns light to medium brown.
  • 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.
​

HOW TO MAKE BRAZO DE MERCEDES:
  • Sprinkle confectioners sugar on top of the baked meringue then place wax paper on the top part of the meringue followed by a similar sized baking pan or tray. The meringue should now be in the middle of two baking trays.
  • Flip the meringue then spread the filling evenly on top of meringue and roll into a log.
  • Divide the log into two. (Like what I did ont he picture above.)
  • Slice and serve. Enjoy!
