    Whisk egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar until pale yellow, then stir in 1/3 cup whole milk and vanilla.

    In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, gradually adding the remaining 1/4 cup sugar.

    Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and 1/4 cup heavy cream to create the soaking liquid.

    Chill for 2 hours, then top with whipped heavy cream and a generous drizzle of warmed dulce de leche.
