Instructions

  • 1.   Prepare the caramel in a clean saucepan, heat it on high heat and do not use any utensils, just move the saucepan around. When it turns brown, pour it into a pie dish and spread the caramel evenly while pouring.
  • 2.   Prepare the island, whisk the egg whites and when they start to thicken, pour in half of the sugar, continue beating and add the remaining sugar, it should be smooth and shiny.
  • 3.   Pour the egg whites into the pie dish and shape it into a dome with a spatula, bake at 180°C (or in a water bath if desired) for 10 minutes in a preheated oven. The island should be golden but not too cooked.
  • 4.   Prepare the custard, mix all the ingredients together, then cook at around 80°C (it should not boil) for 12-15 minutes until it thickens.
  • 5.   To unmold the island, use a spatula, it should come off like a suction cup.

Notes & Suggestions

  • For the custard, use a machine that beats and cooks at the same time, it's very convenient.
  • The caramel dish can be used to make a second floating island.
