Great recipe and pictures! Very helpful. My mother used to add cinnamon sticks to the milk and leave them in the custard. An AMAZINGLY delicious variation to this wonderful dessert. We used to suck the custard out of the sticks as children (actually still do!). It also is even better the next day when the flavors really meld. She also used to “cook” the merengues by pouring the hot custard over them directly and letting the whole thing cool together and then refrigerate. Let me know what you think.

[...] called for the meringue to be poached in simmering water as opposed to flavored milk like some others do. Even with that, it just seems like a missed opportunity to use a straight meringue, not the most [...]

Love it! People think meringues and custards are so tricky and they really aren’t – or at least not nearly as fussy as often believed (I mean, you see those totally boiling-over, not poaching merignues, right? they were delicious all the same!). Glad you tried them!

Just tried this recipe (came here from the sfgirl blog) and it is so, so delicious! Despite doing everything wrong, from beating the meringues with a fork to not stirring often enough, I came out with a totally credible oeuf a la neige, so: thank you for this very easy to follow recipe!

These look really yummy! We share your love of the Winter Games. Our TV has been glued to the Olympics since the opening ceremonies last Friday. Hopefully on Monday we’ll actually make it to Vancouver (it’s a ferry ride from where we live)! Can’t wait! And congrats on your gold medal in figure skating!

Molly – I just met for lunch with your mom (I used to be Kitty Parker) te he – life takes us on quite a journey from where we were to where we are – and things of value grow in value – like YOUR MOM!!! She showed me pictures of you and David. Lots of memories.

Your writing is delightful and it reminds me of Julie and Julia. The recipe looks fantastic. I’ll have to check in some more. Gorgeous photo’s. Is there a book in the making?
