Time 2h40m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 3/4-inch-thick rings
3/4 cup vanilla sugar (see note)
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Place the pineapple slices on a foil-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the sugar. Broil until the sugar is caramelized, about 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool and cut into small wedges.
  • In a medium metal bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 6 tablespoons of the sugar until thick and pale yellow. Whisk in the water. Place the bowl over a pan of hot but not simmering water. Whisk constantly until the mixture is very thick and warm, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and the vanilla extract and whip until firm. Stir a little of the egg mixture into the cream. Fold in remaining egg mixture.
  • Spoon a little of the custard into 6 narrow wine glasses. Top with a layer of pineapple, turning the pieces near the edge of the glass so that the caramelized side shows. Continue the layers, ending with the filling. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
