Ina’s Île Flottante
It took me three years into the project to work up the courage to finally make this, and while it takes some time to pull together, it’s much easier than expected! This show-stopping dessert consists of four primary elements: meringue islands, a pool crème anglaise, drizzling of caramel, and finally a sprinkling of almond praline.
Ina’s Chocolate Mousse
This indulgent treat is dessert perfection. The recipe combines two types of chocolate, melted with cognac and Grand Marnier, then blended with butter and thick, luscious whipped egg yolks. Folded-in whipped egg whites and cream provide a light-as-air texture for the mousse. The results are simultaneously rich and chocolatey, yet light and pillowy.
Ina’s Pasta, Pesto, and Peas
Ina takes her classic pesto recipe and turns up the volume by incorporating chopped spinach, extra Parmesan cheese (because more is always better), lemon juice to maintain the vibrant colors, and mayonnaise for added creaminess. This flavorful mixture is then tossed with bow-tie and fusilli pasta, peas, and toasted pine nuts.
