Instructions
Step 1 - Add milk, cinnamon, cloves and sugar to a large saucepan. Heat to boiling. Turn off heat.
Step 2 - Separately, beat the egg whites until stiff and add the sugar in the form of rain. Continue beating until a firm meringue forms.
Step 3 - Return the pot with milk to low heat and with a spoon form flakes and pour them over the hot milk, not boiling. Cook for 2 minutes and remove with a skimmer. Set aside the cooked meringue flakes.
Step 4 - In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the cornstarch and add some of the hot milk from the pot. Stir to temper and pour the yolk mixture over the pot of milk. Cook over low heat until slightly thickened.
Step 5 - Remove the cream from the heat and pour into a bowl or individual bowls. Put the cooked egg white flakes. Let cool for 2 hours. Serve chilled with cinnamon powder and/or slivered almonds.
