Churros For Two On Your Birthday

Ile Flottantes (Floating Islands)

Îles flottantes is a globally savored French dessert which is a simple yet exotic sweet dish. Although the history of iles flottantes is not known, it is assumed to have originated in the french countryside due to its rustic flavor. A dessert that is very popular in the cities and towns of France.

I chanced upon Rachel Khoo's Ile Flottantes recipe and I knew I just had to try it out and share it with my family!

Îles flottantes (Serve 6)Preparation Time : 4 Hours
Cooking Time : 10 - 30 Minutes

For the Creme Anglaise

4 free-range eggs, yolks only

80g sugar

1 vanilla pod *, seeds scraped out

500ml milk

1/2 tsp ground long pepper ** or freshly ground black pepper

For the Praline

75g sugar

50g silvered almonds

25ml water

For the Meringue Islands

2 free-range eggs, whites only (60g)

45g icing sugar, sifted if lumpy

couple drops of lemon juice

pinch of salt

Preparation Method

Creme Anglaise

1. Mix the egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl.
2. Place the vanilla pod and seeds in a pan with the milk and pepper and bring to a boil.
3. Remove the pod (you can rinse and dry it and use for vanilla sugar). Then pour a little of the hot milk onto the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously.
4. Gradually whisk in the rest of the milk, then pour the mix into a clean pan, set over a gentle heat and whisk constantly. Do not let the custard simmer at any point or it will split.
5. After five minutes it will begin to thicken slightly and become the consistency of single cream (it will thicken more when it cools down).
6. Transfer to a bowl and chill in the fridge for at least four hours.

Pralines

1. Meanwhile, to make the praline, line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Put the sugar and water into a large pan, heat gently until the sugar dissolves, then increase the heat to high.
3. When the mixture starts to bubble, add the almonds and continue to cook for five minutes, stirring continuously to prevent the almonds sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
4. Once the sugar and nuts have become a dark golden-brown caramel colour, pour onto the prepared tray and spread as thinly as possible with a palette knife (be quick as it sets fast). Set aside to
   cool.

Meringue Islands

1. To make the meringue islands, put half the egg whites into a clean glass or metal bowl.
2. Add the sugar, lemon juice and salt and whisk until snow white.
3. Add the rest of the egg whites and continue whisking until the meringue forms stiff peaks when the whisk is removed.
4. Gently drop six spoonfuls of meringue into a large pot of simmering water and simmer for a few minutes or until they are slightly puffed up and just set. Remove with a slotted spoon and place onto a sheet of baking paper until needed. 
5. To assemble, pour a ladleful of crème anglaise into each of six glasses and gently place a meringue in the centre. Snap the praline into small pieces and sprinkle on top.

* Vanilla pod can be changed to the following -

Winter warming : 1 cinnamon stick, ½ tsp ground ginger and a pinch of nutmeg.
Chocolate chilli : 4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 pinches of chilli powder, or to taste.
Zingy citrus fruit : finely grated zest of 1 unwaxed orange, ½ lemon and ½ lime.

** You’re most likely to find long pepper at an Asian supermarket, or it can be replaced with regular black pepper.

Do I lack of time management?

Am I being inefficient at work cause work has been ridiculously busy for the past few weeks and I seem to be racing with time on a daily basis. 

Sacrificing my beauty sleep and socializing time with friends for work is no joke.
