Add the egg whites to a mixing bowl.

Add less than half a can of condensed milk and a tiny splash of vanilla extract to the egg yolks in a saucepan.

Heat the egg yolk mixture on low heat, stirring continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs until it thickens into a custard.

Set the custard aside once thickened.

Prepare a baking sheet with a sheet of baking paper.

Whip the egg whites until foamy, starting on a soft setting and gradually increasing speed.

Gradually add 50 grams of sugar while mixing until the egg whites are foamy.

Spread the whipped egg whites onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes, then turn off the oven and let it sit for an additional 5 minutes.

Carefully remove the meringue from the baking paper and roll it up to form a log shape.
