Chocolate Floating Island Recipe

As I most recently have some time, I had been searching on the web the other day. On the lookout for new, interesting thoughts, inspirational recipes that I have never used before, to astonish my family with. Looking for a while but couldn't come across any interesting stuff. Right before I thought to give up on it, I stumbled on this yummy and simple dessert by chance. The dessert seemed so delightful on its snapshot, it called for quick action.
It was not difficult to imagine how it is made, how it tastes and how much my hubby will love it. Mind you, it is quite easy to keep happy him when it comes to cakes. Yes, I am a lucky one. Or maybe he is.Anyhow, I went to the page: Ambitiouskitchen and simply followed the detailed instuctions that have been coupled with great photos of the method. It really makes life rather easy. I can imagine that it's a bit of a inconvenience to take photographs in the midst of baking in the kitchen because you typically have sticky hands and so i really appreciate the commitment she placed in for making this post .
That being said I am encouraged to present my own dishes in the same way. Appreciate your the thought.
I was tweaking the initial recipe to make it for the taste of my loved ones. I've got to say it was a terrific success. They enjoyed the flavour, the structure and enjoyed getting a sweet like this in the midst of a hectic workweek. They basically wanted even more, many more. So next time I'm not going to make the same mistake. I am going to multiply the volume .

I have yet to dare Floating Islands, but I really should dive best in. This chocolate version is fantastic and might simply get me doing it.

Interesting recipe. Will surely give it a try. Though I am a little scared of trying French desserts…they are constantly so sensitive and there's such high expectation to create them come out just right….

We like this creative turn on a vintage. We will definitely test it out for. Thanks a lot from Santa Barbara, s
24 mugs milk" doesn't seem right. 1L (Liter) is approximately 4 cups or 1 quart.
24 cups of milk is add up to 1 1/2 gallons or approximately 6 liters. 6 L appears like too big a quantity. Is the quantity said to be 6L of dairy or 1L? Is it said to be 24oz of dairy?
You're right, there is a huge problem with the quantities! It's 1L or 4 mugs. Thanks for directing it out
extremely tempting dessert and very, very mouth watering, looks great and awsome
