So, yeah. You should never, ever make this. You will regret making this. This is a seriously dangerous recipe. Should you foolishly decide to make it anyway, don’t say I didn’t warn you. I love hazelnuts and I love chocolate, but I don’t buy that popular, sugar-laden spread made of those ingredients. I like macadamia [...]

Vanilla Bean Floating Island (dairy free)
Floating Island is an old-fashioned dessert made by “floating” puffs of meringue in a little sea of crème anglaise.

The recipe makes two tarts and I cut one into a round and left the other in the out-of-the box puff pastry rectangular shape. Either way you can cut these [...]
