Drain and chill pineapple slices. Spread chocolate cake
with a thin layer of chocolate icing. When set cut into 9cm circles. Make
meringues by beating 3 egg whites with a pinch of salt and cream of tartar
until frothy. Gradually beat in 6 tblsns castor sugar. When very firm flavour
with vanilla essence. Spoon into about 9cm circles on foil-lined baking trays. Bake
in slow oven (160°C) until firm. At serving-time place a circle of iced
chocolate cake on dessert plate, top with a meringue and then one or two slices
chilled pineapple. Garnish with whipped cream, cherry and mint leaves.
Pineapple Princesses began as a tribute to Ruby Borrowdale, the home economist behind the 'Golden Circle Tropical Recipe Book' tested in the Golden Circle kitchen and modified and updated in the Pineapple Princesses' test kitchens. As Ruby said "pineapple is a versatile food" . . . no fat, high in vitamin C and full of the flavour of Queensland sunshine. The blog continues as more and more pineapple recipes are discovered from around the world.

I sounds like it needs some sort of sauce to moisten it - what was it like?
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty good - well - it was made with meringue and cream - but good idea, a strawberry coulis would be delicious!
