We didn't even like them, we loved them! The quantities in the recipe are for 8 persons. That much weren't around at our dinner table last night. So I made half of the recipe. Only forgot to take a smaller baking form, so the islands weren't as high as they used to be. That didn't mind to much.
The preparation was very easy, because you didn't have to boil the milk and spoon the eggwhites at the right time in and out of the milk. This was a recipe in the oven and afterwards just getting them out and chill.
Real easy and nice.
At French Fridays with Dorie, we don't give the recipe, but you can read it in the cookbook of Dorie Greenspan: Around my French table.
For the end result:

How pretty, Andrea! Looks like the perfect dessert to enjoy at sundown.
You did the whole dessert! I really should try having it with ice cream, it sounds great!

Nice looking dessert, Andrea. I love the chocolate ice cream on the side.
My islands weren't high either, but they sure were yum! Glad you liked it.

Thank you all for your sweet comments.
We served ours with chocolate ice cream, too, but skipped the caramel. I don't think I will next time, though. It looks so good! Your presentation is beautiful.
Such pretty plating!
