Steps

1

In a mixing bowl, pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Stir, then microwave for 2 minutes 30 seconds at 900 watts.
2

While the milk is heating, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add half of the granulated sugar to the yolks, mix, then add the cornstarch and whisk together.
3

Stir the yolk mixture into the hot milk, mixing with a wooden spoon. Microwave for 30 seconds at 900 watts, stir, then microwave for another minute, stirring every 30 seconds. Let cool.
4

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, gradually adding the remaining granulated sugar. Lightly moisten a mixing bowl, then add the beaten egg whites. In a large bowl of hot water, unmold the egg whites and place them in the bowl. Microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds on full power. Drain your île flottante.
5

Place the sugar cubes with a little water in a bowl and microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes 30 seconds, checking constantly.

To assemble, pour the custard (crème anglaise) onto a plate, smooth out your île flottante, then place it in the center of the custard. Cover with the caramel. Enjoy!
