Ingrédients
  

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 vanilla vanilla bean, split lengthwise
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the milk with the vanilla bean until just simmering. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the vanilla bean and reheat the milk until it's warm.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with 1/4 cup of sugar until thick and pale. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  • Pour the egg and milk mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  • In a large pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Using two large spoons, shape the meringue into ovals and gently drop them into the simmering water. Poach the meringue for about 1-2 minutes on each side, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • To serve, spoon the chilled vanilla custard into serving bowls. Place a meringue island on top of the custard in each bowl.
  • Drizzle the caramel sauce over the meringues and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
