Ingredients:
- 1 can (400g) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package (200g) vanilla or sponge cake (or ladyfingers)
- 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
- Ground cinnamon (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cake Layer:
- Cut the sponge cake or ladyfingers into small pieces or strips, depending on your preference. Arrange a layer of the cake pieces in the bottom of a serving dish.
- Prepare the Pineapple Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until smooth and well combined.
- Layer the Dessert:
- Pour half of the creamy pineapple mixture over the cake layer in the dish. Spread evenly.
- Add another layer of cake pieces on top, followed by the remaining pineapple mixture.
- Top with Whipped Cream:
- Spread a layer of whipped cream on top of the pineapple filling. You can use store-bought whipped cream or whip your own from heavy cream and a bit of sugar.
- Chill the Dessert:
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to blend and the dessert to firm up.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Just before serving, sprinkle the top with a little ground cinnamon for a festive touch, or add extra whipped cream as decoration.
- Slice and serve chilled.
