PREPARATION
MUNICIPALITIES OF GRAN CANARIA
The egg whites and the yolks are separated and are whisked until fluffy with a pinch of salt. When they begin to get consistent the icing sugar is added and they are put to one side. We now prepare the pot of cream and pot of condensed milk. The yolks are put into a bowl and we add the condensed milk and cream. This is thoroughly blended and put to one side. The sponge is broken up until it becomes a fine powder. We now add the whisked egg whites to the mixture of egg yolks, condensed milk and cream. This is then all stirred in together. The mixture is then placed in small individual pots and left in a refrigerator for a few hours so that they are nice and cool, at which point they are ready to be served.
