Ingredients List
- 1 md Pineapple
- 8 sl Cantaloupe, thin slices
- -- (garnish)
Directions
RUM CREAM
3 Egg yolks
3 tb Sugar, superfine
2 tb Rum, dark
1/2 c Butter, unsalted, chilled
and cut into pieces
1/3 c Cream, whipping
For Rum Cream:
In the top of a double boiler, blend the egg yolks and sugar.
Place this over boiling water and whisk until warm to the touch. Add
the butter, 1 or 2 pieces at a time. When all of the butter has been
incorporated, whisk until lightly thickened, 1 or 2 minutes longer.
Remove from heat and cool, whisking occasionally. When cool,
gradually whisk in the rum and fold in about 1/3 cup of whipped cream.
Cut off the base and stem of the pineapple, reserving a few small
leaves for garnish. Quarter the pineapple lengthwise and then remove
the skin and core with a sharp knife. Slice each quarter lengthwise
into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
To Assemble:
Arrange the pineapple slices on chilled plates, overlapping
slightly. Gently curl the cantaloupe slices in the shape of an "S"
and place 2 pieces on each plate as garnish. Garnish with reserved
pineapple leaves. Spoon some of the rum cream over the pineapple and
serve remainder of the cream on the side.
