Strawberry Floating Island or Île flottante is a simple yet very elegant and impressive dessert. Soft meringue islands float on a pool of crème anglaise and garnished with fresh strawberries and pistachio. I shared my crème anglaise recipe in a previous post or DM for recipe. Enjoy!

For 2 servings

1 cup crème anglaise (see my recipe)
2 egg whites
2 tbsp sugar
1/8 cream of tartar
Pinch of salt
5-6 strawberries for the coulis
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp pistachio crushed
2 strawberries sliced for decoration

Instructions
Using a hand mixer beat the egg whites with cream of tartar and whip until foamy. Slowly incorporate the sugar one tablespoon at a time and continue to whisk until the meringue is thick and glossy and stiff peaks.
Add water in a pot and bring it to a simmer( you can use milk). Drop dollops of meringue into the water to poach them for 3-4 minutes flipping the side. Remove the clouds and place them on a plate with paper towel. 
In a blender add the strawberries with a squeeze of lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Strain the mixture. 
To serve pour the crème anglaise into a bowl. Top with a cloud. Arrange strawberries  and drizzle strawberry coulis. Sprinkle crushed pistachios and serve. 
Enjoy!
