Floating Islands (Bird’s Milk) – Ile Flottante

Today my daughter turns 9, so I decided to prepare my favorite dessert, as a kid, which we used to call Bird’s Milk. You cannot milk a bird, of course, but this is how I knew the dessert all my life.

It’s a French recipe at its origin and the original name is Ille Flottante, which, in English, means Floating Island.

It’s mainly made of my 2 favorite ingredients: milk and eggs. Of course, we’ll also add sugar, vanilla, a bit of salt and some lemon juice.

Let’s see what we need for this and how to make our own Floating Islands.
