Pineapple paradise

A mouth-watering dessert for your next dinner party



Method

•  Grind sweet biscuits into crumbs and mix them with melted butter in a small bowl. Place the crumbs on the base of your serving glasses, pressing it firmly with a spoon to form a smooth dessert base.

•   Cut the pineapple chunks into small pieces and scatter them over the base of the dessert. Keep a few of the bigger pieces aside.

•  In another bowl, whip cream along with icing sugar until it becomes firm and starts to form peaks.

•  Carefully pour the mixture into the glasses.

•  Dust some cocoa powder on the dessert and put the leftover pineapple chunks on the rim of the glasses for decoration. Serve chilled.
