Ingredients:

Pineapple Cream

1 pineapple, cut into cubes

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup water

3 tablespoons cornstarch

400 ml whole mil

1.5 to 2 cans condensed milk (395 g each)

1 pack cooking cream (200 g)

3 egg yolks (strained to remove membrane)

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Plum Cream

100 g plum compote, drained and pitted

1/2 pack cooking cream (200 g)

1/2 can condensed milk (395 g)

100 ml whipped cream

Preparation:

Pineapple Cream:

Cook the pineapple, water, and sugar in a pot over medium heat until the liquid reduces to a syrup and only pineapple cubes remain. In another pot, dissolve the cornstarch in some milk, then add the rest of the milk and other ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to boil. Pour the cream into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap to prevent a crust, and let it cool. Drain the pineapple syrup, add only the cubes to the cooled cream, and stir gently.

Plum Cream:

Blend the plums, cream, and condensed milk until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and gently fold in the whipped cream, keeping the mixture light and fluffy.

Assembly:

Pour the pineapple cream into a dish and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Spread the plum cream on top and smooth it out. Garnish with pieces of plum compote. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the dessert to set and chill.

The result is a luxurious no-bake dessert that looks stunning on the table and offers a refreshing, fruity flavor perfect for any occasion.
