Comment préparer Floating Islands
- In a medium saucepan, combine milk and ½ cup of the sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and a pinch of salt until pale and slightly thickened.
- Temper the egg yolks by slowly whisking in a few spoonfuls of the warm milk mixture. Then, pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining milk.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining ½ cup of sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Spoon or pipe mounds of meringue onto the surface of the warm custard.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the meringues to set.
- Serve chilled. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
