Ingredients:
- Half a ripe natural pineapple
- 200 g cream cheese or mascarpone
- 50 g cream 35%FC
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon white or brown sugar
- 1 dash aged rum
- 1 tablespoon cane sugar
- 6 ladyfingers
- Medina raw pecans
Let's get cooking!
- Preparation of the filling cream. Separate the egg yolk from the egg white and whip the egg white until stiff with a tablespoon of sugar. In another bowl, mix the egg yolk with the cream cheese or mascarpone together with the cream and beat with a whisk. Fold in the whipped egg whites using a folding motion and store in the refrigerator.
- Preparation of the pineapple. Cut it in half vertically and use only one half. Keep the leafy top. With the help of a knife and a spoon, empty the peel, leaving it hollow, and keep the pineapple cut into small pieces. All the juice and the rest of the pineapple together with the chopped pineapple pieces (only part of it) are crushed to 1/3 of the glass. Add a splash of aged rum and a spoonful of sugar (preferably brown) to the glass and beat until it has the texture of a piña colada.
- Assembly. Line the inside of the pineapple half with silver foil. Dip three ladyfingers in the pineapple juice and place one next to the other pressed together in the bottom of the pineapple. Cover with the cream and put another 3 biscuits on top. Cover with the rest of the foil and store in the fridge for at least a couple of hours.
- Plating. Turn the pineapple over and place it in a bowl. Remove the foil, cover with the cream and put all the pecans on top. Place the top of the pineapple as a decorative element and you’re ready to enjoy!
