Directions
- 1
Combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and pineapple drink mix powder in a blender. Blend for 2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy. Refrigerate while you prepare the pineapple.
- 2
Peel the pineapple, remove the fibrous core, and slice into rounds about ½ inch (1 cm) thick.
- 3
Place the pineapple slices in a saucepan, cover with water, add the sugar, and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat for 10–15 minutes until the pineapple is tender.
- 4
Drain the pineapple, reserving the fragrant cooking syrup. Once cooled, cut into small even cubes.

To assemble: brush each cake layer generously with the reserved pineapple syrup, spread the chilled cream filling evenly, and scatter the pineapple cubes over the cream. Layer to your liking.
💡 Chef's Tip
For the firmest filling, refrigerate the cream for at least 30 minutes before assembling. A splash of white rum in the soaking syrup adds a delightful tropical twist for adults.
