Pineapple Yoghurt Dessert Recipes

PINEAPPLE-YOGHURT LADYFINGER DESSERT

Steps:

• Drain pineapple and reserve juice.
• Whip cream with icing sugar and vanilla essence until firm peaks form.
• Fold yoghurt into cream - it should be a stiff, thick cream.
• Place ladyfinger biscuits on the bottom of a 20cm x 30cm baking dish or rectangular tupperware container.
• Pour 1 tablespoon of pineapple juice from can over each ladyfinger biscuit soaking them well.
• Cover biscuits with half of the cream and cover with pineapple rings. ( I prefer to chop the rings and then scatter them over the cream layer, as it makes it easier to slice).
• Add another biscuit layer over the pineapple and soak with the remaining pineapple juice.
• Cover with the remaining cream and smooth the layer well.
• Arrange pineapple rings over the top and insert the glace cherries into the holes of the rings.
• Allow to soften and absorb flavours in fridge for at least 4 hours,preferably overnight.
• Edited to add: I recently made this with one tin sliced pineapple and one tin peach halves. I mixed the juices from the tins and decorated the layers and the top with both types of fruit. Personally I liked this version even better than the original one I posted and encourage anyone interested to try different combinations of fruit.

HONEY-ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH GREEK YOGURT

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the upper third of the oven, and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Combine 1 cup water, orange juice, honey and vanilla bean pod and seeds in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to loosen the honey. Turn off the heat, and leave the saucepan on the stove. (You may need to reduce the roasting juices a little more once the pineapple is cooked.)
• Arrange the pineapple slices in a broiler-proof 9-by-13 baking dish. Pour the orange syrup over the pineapple. Roast, basting occasionally, until the pineapple is tender and the juices have reduced, about 20 minutes.
• Set the oven to broil, and continue to cook the pineapple until it is a deep golden yellow and lightly brown around the edges, 5 to 10 minutes more.
• The roasting juices should be reduced and syrupy, measuring about 1/4 cup. If they are too watery, remove the pineapple slices with a slotted spoon to a medium bowl, return the juices to the saucepan and reduce the juices over medium-high heat until syrupy, about 1/4 cup.
• Divide the yogurt among 4 small bowls. Top with the pineapple slices, and drizzle with the syrup.

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill pineapple until soft and heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
