Pudim de Claras

Ingredients

• 1 cup Sugar (for the caramel)
• 5 large egg whites
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon grated lime zest

Directions

• Gradually whisk the egg whites until foamy .
• Increase the speed and add the Sugar by spoonfuls.
• When the meringue forms stiff peaks, fold in the lime zest.
• Use a rubber spatula to gently spoon the meringue into the mold.
• Bake until the surface is golden brown (about 5 minutes in my oven, which is really hot).
• Cool and refrigerate, covered, overnight.
• Just before serving, run the tip of a knife around the inside of the mold.
• Place a deep platter over the mold and invert: the pudim should slide out easily.
• If not, give the mold a firm but careful shake.
• Spoon the caramel sauce on top and serve.
• Serves about 10.
