  • In a large saucepan put the milk and the vanilla pod to boil.
  • Prepare the meringue: beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add 1/2 cup of sugar and continue beating with the electric mixer until it becomes a little harder but not dry.
  • Take a few spoonfuls of the meringue, and put on top of the boiling milk (3 minutes on each side).
  • Take out with a deep spoon and place in the pyrex where it will be served.
  • Repeat this step until all the egg whites have been used.
  • Prepare the English cream: in another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with 1/2 cup of sugar until they are fluffed.
  • Add hot milk to the yolks and put on the stove.
  • Cook over low heat, stirring constantly (without letting it boil) until it thickens.
  • Remove the vanilla pod and add the vanilla extract and rum (optional).
  • Put the English cream around the meringues.
