Passion Fruit and Kaffir Lime Floating Island (Île Flottante)
Mr. Popotte loves floating islands, so I thought I’d make him happy!
This is a very traditional French dessert made with vanilla custard (crème anglaise) and fluffy meringue.
Here, I’ve given it a twist—not in form, but in flavor. I went for exotic notes with a custard flavored with passion fruit and kaffir lime (brought straight from Réunion by my brother- and sister-in-law 😊).
