floating islands

my favorite dessert is without a doubt, le select bistro's iles flotants - floating islands. fresh merengue pouffs floating in a pool of creamy, vanilla custard-y type liquid; topped with flecks of hardened caramelized sugar. really doesn't get much better. in my current obsession with cooking and baking i have decided that i must, atleast try, to master making iles flotants, so i'm able to share the delicious with as many people as possible!!! i plan on trying this recipe very soon!
