    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer with the vanilla sugar.

    2

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently spoon small mounds of meringue into the simmering milk. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook for another minute. Remove the cooked meringues and set aside on a plate.

    3

    In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and flour until pale and smooth. Gradually whisk in the hot milk, ensuring there are no lumps.

    4

    Return the custard mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Be careful not to let it boil, or the eggs may curdle.

    5

    Pour the custard into a large serving bowl or individual glasses. Arrange the cooked meringue islands on top of the custard.

    6

    Chill the Floating Islands dessert thoroughly before serving.
