Ingredients

Method

1.In a large saucepan, combine cream, milk and vanilla. Heat on medium until boiling point is reached.
2.Meanwhile, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt together until stiff peaks form. Add sugar gradually, beating until thick and glossy.
3.Working in batches of 5, push heaped tablespoons of meringue into gently simmering cream mixture, using a second spoon. Poach 1-2 minutes, turning. Remove with slotted spoon to a clean cloth.
4.In a large, heatproof bowl, whisk yolks with extra sugar until pale and thick. Gradually pour in warm cream mixture, whisking to combine.
5.Return to clean saucepan. Stir over low heat, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon.
6.Ladle custard among serving bowls. Top with poached meringues. Drizzle with warm caramel to serve.

The poached meringue will hold quite well for at least 1 hour. Refrigerate if leaving longer.
