hi! been making and selling brazo de mercedez for quite sometime now. just want to make a suggestion.. you should spread the filling when its cold otherwise it will only flow when you're rolling the meringue. spread the filling only on one side (half of the meringue). you can also use calamansi juice or lime juice for the meringue to lessen that eggy taste and smell... ;p
I just made braso de mercedez awhile ago. :D
