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.

This fool is a great dessert for a summer party. It's light and refreshing, and it's always a hit with my guests.

I love that this fool can be made ahead of time. It's perfect for busy weeknights.

This fool is a great way to use up leftover pineapple. I always have a few pieces left over after I make a pineapple upside-down cake.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fool turned out really runny. I think I might have added too much milk.

This fool was a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I would prefer a dessert that is easier to prepare.

Overall, I thought this fool was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This fool is a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I would prefer a lighter dessert.

I had some trouble getting the custard to set properly. I think I might have overcooked it.

This fool is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I really enjoyed this fool. The caramelized pineapple was so flavorful and the custard was the perfect complement.

This is the best fool I've ever had! The pineapple flavor really shines through and the custard is so creamy and smooth.

I made this fool for a dinner party and it was a hit! Everyone raved about the flavor and texture. I will definitely be making it again.

This caramelized pineapple fool was a delightful dessert! The combination of sweet pineapple, creamy custard, and crunchy biscuit crumbs was perfect. I especially loved the contrast between the warm pineapple and the cold custard.
