Baba de camelo is a traditional Portuguese dessert made with sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and caramel sauce. It is a creamy and sweet dessert that is usually served cold. The name "baba de camelo" translates to "camel's drool" in English, and some believe it got its name because of its creamy texture and caramel color, which resembles the drool of a camel.
Baba de camelo is a popular dessert in Portugal and is often served at family gatherings and celebrations. It is also sometimes known as "doce da avó" or "grandmother's sweet" because it is a classic dessert that has been passed down through generations.

- Add more boiling water if necessary.
- Using a pair of tongs, a fork or a slotted spoon, take the can out of the pan and place it onto a heatproof surface to cool.
- Make sure it has cooled to room temperature before you open the can.

- Beat the egg whites separately until it forms peaks and carefully incorporate them into the cooked condensed milk.

Each can in the US is 14 ounce in the brand of condensed milk I found. 2 cans would be 28 ounces or 3.5 cups. What would you say the added egg yolks and eggs whites would be? Should I just double the eggs for 8 eggs or more? One can should be enough for the Original recipe but I want to scale this up because 3 hours for one can is kinda silly. At least two to make it more productive.
