Floating Island with Coffee – Deal

Ingredients:

6 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups milk
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons coffee granules
1/4 cup water
Whipped cream, for topping
Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions:

In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Fill a large pot with an inch or two of water and bring to a simmer. Use a large spoon or a piping bag to form the meringue mixture into small floating islands and gently set them in the simmering water. Cover the pot and let the meringues cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are firm and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the floating islands from the water and set them on a plate to cool.
In a separate pot, heat the milk until it is just simmering. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and coffee granules. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the coffee mixture, then return the mixture to the pot and continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Serve the floating islands in small bowls or dessert dishes and ladle the coffee sauce over the top. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder, if desired. Serve immediately.
