Brazo de Mercedes by my 18-year-old son. So proud of him for attempting such a difficult dessert!

Brazo de Mercedes is lemon custard wrapped in soft meringue. Not easy to make, and it didn’t come out perfectly, but it was delicious! Incredibly proud of him - he is taking a pastry class at school, and this is the result of his hard work.

Obituarykidney @lemmy.world I thought it was a piece of white bread on top of custard and you were making fun of him 😂
