Pineapple Surprise

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 pineapple, fresh
• ½ jar jam (cherry jam)
• 2 cl rum
• 1 liter ice cream, vanilla or strawberry ice cream
• 3 egg whites
• 1 pinch of salt
• 75 g sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

Pineapple with ice cream (baked in the oven)

Cut the pineapple lengthwise, scoop out the flesh, and place the hollowed-out shells in the refrigerator. Cut the flesh into thin strips, removing any hard parts. Mix the pineapple strips with the jam and season with rum. Fill the pineapple halves with ice cream and the flesh and place in the freezer for 1 hour. Then beat the egg whites with salt until stiff, add the sugar, and continue beating briefly. Remove the pineapple halves from the freezer, pile the beaten egg whites over the pineapple halves, ensuring the ice cream is completely covered. Dust with powdered sugar and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown. (This only takes a short time; as soon as the beaten egg whites start to brown, serve immediately.)
