Directions
- 1
In a saucepan, combine the pineapple cubes, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a jam-like compote. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- 2
In a separate saucepan over low heat, whisk together the condensed milk, whole milk, and strained egg yolks. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard cream. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- 3
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, beating until glossy. Fold in the whipping cream gently with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whites.
- 4
In a large baking dish, spread the cooled pineapple compote as the first layer. Spoon the custard cream on top, then finish with an even layer of the meringue topping.
- 5
Freeze for at least 4 hours. Remove from the freezer 5 minutes before serving and slice into generous portions. Serve well chilled.
