For the topping
1/2 cup of sugar
2 tablespoons of water
1 teaspoon of grated ginger
Unmold the peacock over a sugared cloth and reserve
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water and let it boil until reaching a hard-ball stage
(Test by letting a little of the syrup drip into cold water; if it forms a ball that holds its shape, it is ready)
Beat the eggs well and add the hot syrup while beating constantly
Transfer the mixture to a saucepan, add the cinnamon powder and cook, stirring always until the bottom of the pan appears
Remove from heat 30 minutes before serving and add lemon juice
Dip the peacock in port wine, fill with cream, and roll. Reserve
Prepare the topping: combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and let it boil until caramelized and reaching the hard-ball stage
Cover the rocambole with the syrup and serve immediately to prevent losing its crunchiness
