Note
Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for best volume when whipping.
For a stronger rum flavor, increase the amount of rum by 1 tablespoon, but be aware this may affect setting.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
If the custard sets too quickly, warm it slightly to make it easier to fold in the meringue.
