The Floating Island dessert at Brasserie by Niche is impossibly light and on the knife’s edge of sweetness. Fluffy clouds of poached, soft meringue float on top of a pool of vanilla-scented crème anglaise garnished with a ribbon of caramel and toasted almond slices for a satisfying crunch. We always have room for this ethereal dessert.
