Egg Snowballs with Caramel Sauce and Fruit
- 10 large egg whites
- 1 each vanilla bean
- 2 ounces sugar
- 1 quart water or 1 qt milk
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 5 tablespoons water
- ** See recipe below for Creme Anglaise.
- In a large bowl, whip the egg whites until they are very stiff.
- Add the vanilla bean paste.
- Add sugar (amount of sugar varies - it has to bind the eggs).
- In a large saucepan, heat (but do NOT boil) milk or water.
- Shape the beaten egg whites into quenelles and float them in the liquid to poach gently.
- See link at the end of this recipe for how to shape quenelles.
- Use a soup spoon instead of a dessert spoon to make a larger quenelle.
- After 2 minutes, turn the egg puffs with a spoon dipped in cold water.
- Cook for 3 more minutes, then remove to a baking pan.
- Drain the pan, and briefly reserve the quenelles.
- Boil the sugar and water in a saucepan until it forms caramel.
- Scoop Creme Anglaise into the bottoms of your serving bowls and then place a quenelle in each bowl.
- Sprinkle with roasted almonds and top with caramel sauce.
- Garnish with fresh fruit of the season.
