The Most Unique Floating Island Recipe

“The Floating Island “
- This is a well-known Filipino dessert also commonly known as Brazo de Mercedez. It is made of baked meringue, yema custard and Ube Filling. I put a unique twist on this classic dessert. This dessert is a must-try:)
Meringue:
9 eggwhites
100 g sugar
Bake at 350F for 20 minutes.
Yema Custard:
9 eggyolks
150 g condensed milk
160 g evaporated milk or fresh milk
16 g cornstarch
2 g salt
Mix everything in a saucepan. Cook on low heat until it thickens.
80 g Ube Halaya ( for the use custard ) - add this separately into the cooked custard
Marshmallow Frosting:
3 eggwhites
100 g sugar
50 g water
10 g gelatin
Combine sugar and water and heat to simmer. Whip the egg whites until frothy.
Add the hot sugar syrup gradually. Whip until it reaches stiff peaks.
Add the melted gelatin. Put in a piping bag.
I hope this recipe will work for you :) Happy Baking 😊
