Brazo de Mercedes

     One of the most popular dessert or snack here in  the Philippines is the Brazo de Mercedes.  It is made of baked meringue or egg whites rolled then filled with yummy egg yolks cooked in milk. Everybody looooves it even though its overloaded with sugar and calories.
     The reason that I haven't been updating my blog lately is because of it.  Since I'm not earning from my blog yet I have to find other ways to earn money. I first  attempted this sweet dessert last year on my boyfriend's brother birthday. Nobody seemed to notice them so I decided to end making it there. Then last New Years  eve my boyfriend asked me if I can make another Brazo de Mercedes for him. From then, its history.
     I got a few customers now for my Brazo de Mercedes.  What they like on it is that the sweetness is just right. Not super sweet like some Brazo de Mercedes in the market.  I purposely lessened the sugar on the meringue so that when it melts in your mouth you get to taste the creaminess and the richness of the egg filling. And like I always say... I cook from the heart maybe thats why it tastes good.
