Ananas En Surprise (Pineapple Surprise) image

I love to cheat at cooking and this is one of the biggest cheats I know. It looks spectacular and tastes a dream but only takes a few simple ingredients and little time to produce.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large fresh pineapple
1 glass white rum
coconut ice cream
4 egg whites
4 ounces caster sugar
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • halve the pineapple down its length, cutting through the frond of green leaves at the top.
  • Cut out the tough central "choke" from the two halves.
  • Scoop out and chop the flesh, being careful not to damage the shell.
  • Put the flesh and the rum into a freezer bag and put into the freezer for 6 hours or overnight.
  • Put the shells into a freezer bag and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
  • Make a meringue by beating the egg whites with the salt until they form stiff peaks before folding in the sugar.
  • Heat your oven to its maximum.
  • Place the pineapple shells on a baking sheet and fill with the pineapple flesh and rum.
  • Add scoops of coconut ice-cream.
  • cover with the meringue being careful to seal it round the edges to the pineapple shells.
  • Bake for 5 minutes or until the meringue is lightly set and the peaks are just browning.
  • If you want to go really over the top you can stick a couple of sparklers in as you serve it!
