I had no trouble at all with this recipe and I loved how nicely it paired with chocolate flourless cake and berries. For my presentation, I plated the creme anglaise in a shallow ramekin with a floral cut out of chocolate flourless cake in the center. I then sprinkled sliced strawberries around the edge for color.
The recipe called for the meringues to poach in milk, of which I used vanilla soy milk as my only substitute. It gave a very subtle hint of vanilla which was wonderful. I topped my cake with the meringue, added another smaller floral cut out of chocolate flourless cake on top of the meringue, drizzled the dish with a raspberry coulis and garnished with mint.
A lot of compliments came from the table when I served this dessert and it was nice blend of flavors! For the recipe, check out Shari ‘s blog, Whisk: a food blog and don’t forget to check out how the other TWD bakers’ versions of the recipe!

I’ve never heard of poached meringue. Is similar to the texture on a meringue pie?
That does look good! Nice job. Chocolate cake & strawberries are my favorite combo.
Not only is that beautiful it looks so delicious!
