Floating Island Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
Directions
- Put the egg whites in a mixing bowl and beat slowly at first. As the egg whites thicken, add in 1/4 c. of sugar and increase the beating speed till the whites hold very stiff peaks.
- Scald the lowfat milk and add in 1/4 c. of sugar and vanilla. Stir the mix till the sugar has dissolved.
- Poach the egg whites in lowfat milk for 4 to 5 min, turning once. The idea here is to drop large dollops of the beaten egg white/sugar mix onto the surface of the lowfat milk till they are cooked through. These will be the "islands" for this exotic dessert. Remove to serving platter.
- Beat the egg yolks with the remaining 1/2 c. of sugar in a bowl and add in the warm lowfat milk, stirring vigorously. Cold and strain.
- Make a caramel by boiling 1/2 c. of sugar and 1/2 c. of water to a syrup.
- Serve the cooled lowfat milk-and-egg mix with the islands and drizzle caramel on top.
