Method
- Remove the label from the sealed tin of condensed milk, lay it in the pressure cooker and cover it completely with water (at least 3 cm above). Cook for 30 minutes once it starts to hiss, take it off the heat and let the pressure drop on its own before opening. In an ordinary pot, cook it for 2 hours 30 minutes, always covered with water, topping up with boiling water if needed.
- Let the tin cool completely in the water before opening it (opened hot, the caramel spurts out and burns). Open it and transfer the caramel to a bowl.
- Separate the yolks from the whites. Beat the yolks into the caramel one at a time until smooth.
- Whisk the whites to firm peaks and fold them into the caramel in 3 additions with a spatula, without beating.
- Divide among bowls and chill for at least 3 hours.
- Before serving, toast the flaked almonds in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, and scatter them on top.
