week Tweenty-fouR: Poached Meringues In Lemon Custard With Cinnamon

This dessert has such a long and complicated name in English, when in fact it is designated by a single noun in Portuguese: Farófias.
I have no idea which is the origin of this dessert, but I guess is a pretty old recipe. It has always been the favorite dessert of older members of my family. I still remember the great enthusiasm when the large serving dish of Farófias was brought to the table in the large family reunions.
Eating Farófias always makes me think I'm eating pieces of clouds, that softly melt in my mouth. So, for me clouds taste like lemon zest with a dash of cinnamon, and they float in a pale yellow sea of rich custard.
