- First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s time to get that magical ambiance going!
- In a large bowl, whip the egg whites and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until the mixture becomes glossy and forms stiff peaks. Just like fluffy cumulus clouds!
- On a greased baking sheet, spoon dollops of the egg white mixture to create “islands.” Make sure each island has some space to breathe, they need room to float!
- Bake these delightful puffs for about 10-15 minutes until they’re just golden. Set them aside to cool slightly while you prepare the creamy base.
- In a pot, combine milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract. Heat it over medium heat until it starts to simmer (not boil!).
- Now, gently add your floating islands to the warm milk mixture and let them bathe for about 5 minutes, soaking up all that creamy goodness.
- Finally, serve your Floating Islands in bowls, drizzled with the warm milk mixture and a sprinkle of toasted almonds for that extra flair. Voila, your dessert is ready to wow the guests!
