Pudim Molotoff, also known as Portuguese Meringue Pudding, is a classic Portuguese dessert that is loved throughout the country. It is typically made with a rich caramel sauce and topped with a light and fluffy meringue, creating a perfect combination of sweet and airy flavors. This dessert is perfect for entertaining guests, as it looks impressive but is relatively easy to make. It is also a great way to use up any extra egg whites you may have from other baking projects.

Instructions

1.	Begin by preparing the meringue: in a large bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
2.	Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites, beating continuously until the mixture is glossy and holds stiff peaks.
3.	Next, prepare the caramel sauce: in a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water and heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves.
4.	Allow the mixture to come to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the syrup is thick and golden brown.
5.	Remove from the heat and add in the butter and lemon juice. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth.
6.	In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and cornstarch until smooth.
7.	Add the cornstarch mixture to the caramel sauce, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens.
8.	Pour the caramel mixture into a greased ovenproof dish, then spoon the meringue on top, being sure to spread it out and create peaks with a spatula or fork.
9.	Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown and crispy.
10.	Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
