Method

  1. ** See recipe for Creme Anglaise.
  2. In a large bowl, whip the egg whites until they are very stiff.
  3. Add the vanilla bean paste.
  4. Add sugar (amount of sugar varies – it has to bind the eggs).
  5. In a large saucepan, heat (but do NOT boil) milk or water.
  6. Shape the beaten egg whites into quenelles and float them in the liquid to poach gently.
  7. After 2 minutes, turn the egg puffs with a spoon dipped in cold water.
  8. Cook for 3 more minutes, then remove to a baking pan.
  9. Drain the pan, and briefly reserve the quenelles.
  10. Boil the sugar and water in a saucepan until it forms caramel.
  11. Scoop Creme Anglaise into the bottoms of your serving bowls and then place a quenelle in each bowl.
  12. Sprinkle with roasted almonds and top with caramel sauce.
  13. Garnish with fresh fruit of the season.
