Ile flottante (Floating island) Leche Nevada




For days I wanted to make Floating Islands because I saved some egg whites when I made Cream brulee, I finally got it. It's been a busy week.
I really liked this recipe with the praline, although it is different from others I have done!
Just delicious!
