Floating Island is a classic French dessert made of delicate poached meringue served on a bed of creamy custard, known as crème anglaise. The meringue is crafted from whipped egg whites, sugar, and sometimes a hint of vanilla, creating an airy texture that seems to "float" atop the silky custard base. While its light appearance may suggest a guilt-free indulgence, Floating Island is relatively high in sugar content and contains ample dairy from the custard, making it a richer treat. However, the dish provides a source of protein due to the egg whites and milk in its preparation. Typically enjoyed as a special occasion dessert, it represents the elegance of French cuisine and serves as a delightful contrast of textures. For those mindful of sugar intake, consider moderated portions or alternative sweeteners to enjoy this timeless creation.
