- Remove the label from the can of sweetened condensed milk and carefully submerge it into the boiling water using a pair of tongs or a slotted spoon.

- Cook the can for 3 hours, making sure the can is covered with water at all times.
- 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.
- Once you open the can, add de condensed milk to a bowl, add the yolks and beat for 5 minutes. .
- Beat the egg whites separately until it forms peaks and carefully incorporate them into the cooked condensed milk.
- Add the mixture to individual serving cups.

Use pasteurized eggs. Found everywhere... well, except Walmart.

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.
