In a small pot over medium heat, add the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and vanilla essence, cook for 5 minutes until heated, add the egg yolks one by one, cooking while stirring with a whisk until it reaches a thick consistency. Let cool and set aside for 10 minutes. For the meringue, in a small pot over medium heat, add the sugar with the port and cook for 8 minutes or until the bubbles appear thick, taking time to break, at 115°C. Beat the egg whites to a soft peak, gradually add the syrup in a thin stream and continue beating until you have a firm and shiny meringue. Place the meringue in a piping bag with a plain tip. Set aside. Serve the lime sigh in an individual cup, decorate with meringue and cinnamon.

When making the cream, use a non-stick pot and keep stirring while cooking.

When preparing the meringue, you can simultaneously cook the sugar and whip the egg whites, so they reach their peak at the same time.
