Milk Mixture

Method

Soaking and Topping

  1. 1

    Prepare Milk Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk until well combined.

  2. 2

    Once the cake has cooled, poke holes all over the top with a skewer. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Make the Meringue Topping

    In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue over the cake.

  4. 4

    Using a kitchen torch, lightly toast the meringue until golden brown. Top with mixed berries before serving.
