7 beautiful crêpes (approximately one-third of our website recipe quantities, that is 80 g (2.8 oz) flour, 1 egg, 10 cl (0.4 cup) milk, 10 cl (0.4 cup) water, 20 g (0.7 oz) brown butter, salt and sugar)
1 beautiful pineapple or 2 small Victoria pineapples, peeled, cored and cut into 21 very thin slices
50 g (1.75 oz) softened butter
200 g (7 oz) brown sugar
For the Chantilly cream:
5 dl liquid cream
50 g (1.75 oz) icing sugar
A little vanilla extract
For the Pinacolada sauce:
15 cl (0.6 cup) pineapple juice
15 cl (0.6 cup) coconut milk
2 cl (0.7 fl oz) white rum

Step-by-step directions

The day before:

1 Preheat your oven to 150° (gas mark 5).

2 Take a large oven-safe dish and brush the bottom and sides with all the butter. Coat with 100 g (3.5 oz) of brown sugar, arrange your thin slices of fresh pineapple, then cover with the remaining 100 g (3.5 oz) of brown sugar. Put in the oven for 40 minutes.

3 In a bowl, pour your liquid cream and place it in the freezer for 5 minutes, then whip it with a whisk. At the end, add the icing sugar and vanilla extract, then refrigerate.

4 After 40 minutes of cooking, remove your pineapple slices from the oven and let them cool.

5 When all the elements are cold, assemble the cake: on a small tray, lay out a sheet of cling film that is large enough. In the center, place 1 crêpe, then 3 pineapple slices, then a layer of Chantilly cream, and continue in this order until the assembly is complete. Fold up the 2 sides of the film to encase the cake and refrigerate overnight.

The next day:

6 Prepare the Pinacolada sauce: heat the pineapple juice, coconut milk and rum. Reduce by half and blend well with a mixer.

Presentation:

7 Remove the film and cut the cake vertically into slices, like wedges of cheese. Plate each slice on a nice plate, dust lightly with icing sugar and serve the warm Pinacolada sauce around it.
