We start by preparing the 'manjar blanco' (Peruvian milk caramel). To do this, mix 400 ml of evaporated milk and 400 grams of condensed milk in a saucepan.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 15–20 minutes until the mixture thickens and takes on a light golden color.
Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes off the heat, then add 4 medium egg yolks and 2 teaspoons of vanilla paste. Whisk quickly so the yolks don’t curdle.
Pour the manjar blanco into the chosen serving glasses and let it cool to room temperature.
While the manjar blanco cools, prepare the meringue. Place 200 g of white sugar and 60 ml of passion fruit wine in a saucepan, then heat to 115–118 ºC.
Start beating 2 medium egg whites on low speed until stiff peaks form.
When the whites are beaten, gradually pour in the syrup while continuing to beat.
Keep beating the meringue until it becomes firm and returns to room temperature.
Transfer the meringue to a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe it over the manjar blanco. Refrigerate for a couple of hours to set. Before serving, sprinkle with cinnamon.
Serve cold to fully enjoy the flavors and textures.
