| L'île flottante is a simple French Dessert, in English it's Floating Island and it's actually meringue served with creme anglaise and topped with caramel. I normally buy the creme anglaise and caramel so only need to do the meringue only. For every egg white, I add a tablespoon of sugar. I use about 2 cups of egg white and add about 8 tablespoon of sugar and beat the egg white till stiff, then I placed the egg white into a baking pan and bake at 100°C for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, let it cool then place in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Cut them to the size that you want to serve and place them in a bowl, pour the creme anglaise around the meringue and topped with caramel. |
