What lies beneath the floating island is a light egg white quenelle cloud sitting atop lightly sweetened vanilla custard dusted with cinnamon, layered with passion fruit coulis and fragrant shredded basil.

The final touch was a delicate spun sugar nest crowning the custard, which is the Portuguese take on the European dessert, both beautiful and delicious.

The name of this dreamy dessert is called The Floating Island ($15), in case you're wondering it's a really tedious process to make this dessert by hand, kudos to the dedicated chefs at Boca.
