Île Flottante
32 RON
A dreamy, cloud-like dessert that has graced French tables for centuries, our Île Flottante is the perfect ending to any meal. Light, airy meringue clouds are gently poached and set afloat on a sea of silky vanilla custard (crème anglaise). The contrast between the ethereal meringue and the rich, velvety custard creates a harmony of textures that is uniquely satisfying. Crowned with a delicate web of spun caramel that shatters at the touch of a spoon, this is French dessert-making at its most poetic.
Ingredients
Egg whites, sugar, vanilla beans, whole milk, egg yolks, caramel, pinch of salt.
Preparation
Egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks, shaped into quenelles and poached in milk. The poaching milk becomes the base for the crème anglaise. The caramel is spun just before serving.
