| Portuguese Molotof |
Molotof is a typical dessert from Portugal. Basically it is a baked meringue flavored with caramel. As light as a cloud !
And before to enjoy it we need to gather :
- 10 egg-whites
- 150 gr sugar
- Caramel (150 gr sugar, 50 ml water, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 20 ml water for "de-cooking" the caramel)
- Butter for mold
- A big mold (30 cm)
The Caramel :
In a little saucepan, blend together 50 ml water with the lemon juice and the sugar. Place over medium heat and cook until brown, then "de-cook" it (stop the cooking) with 20 ml water. Reserve.
(The acidity of lemon juice helps to prevent the crystallization of the sugar during the process.)
The Meringue :
Beat the egg-whites, when they start to get lightly stiff add the sugar, keep beating and then add some of the caramel (about 5 tbsp). Stop when completely stiff. Pour the remaining caramel in the mold (bottom) and grease generously the sides of the mold with butter. Then place the meringue into the mold with a spoon or spatula, try to avoid holes.
Put in a preheated oven (medium heat) and in a water bath (water already hot) for about 10 minutes. After this time switch off the oven and leave the mold like 30 more minutes inside (do not open the door).
Take it out of the oven and remove the molotof delicately from the mold and refrigerate right away.
