Ingredients
one 397 g can of sweetened condensed milk600 mL (2 1/8 cups) boiled water15 mL (1 Tbsp) Butter100 mL (± ½ cups) Corn flour50 mL (1/4 cup) cold water 2 Eggs separated (I use extra large)5 mL (1 tsp) Vanilla essence pinch of saltLittle bit of ground cinnamon to sprinkle over top28 tart shells (calculation used) or 1 large graham cracker pie shell.
Cook the condensed milk, boiled water and butter together for 2 minutes.
Prepare the corn flour with cold water by slowly adding the water to the corn flour and stirring to prevent clumps from forming.
Add the egg yolks, vanilla and salt and mix together.
Pour this mixture slowly into the condensed milk mixture while stirring.
Cook in the microwave oven for 1 – 2 minutes at a time, stirring in between to prevent clumping from occurring, until the mixture becomes thick.
Beat the egg whites until they form peaks and fold them into the thick cooked mixture. Don't stir them in, because they are the rising ingredient.
Pour the entire mixture into the bought pie crust or tart shells.
Chill well in fridge.
Prior to serving, sprinkle the top with a thin layer of cinnamon.
Enjoy!
