Cooking Steps
• Drain and finely chop pineapple slices.
• Zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook pineapple, turning,
until lightly browned, 4-6 minutes.
• Add the butter, brown sugar and a generous squeeze of lemon juice and
cook, until golden brown and sticky, 2-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set
aside to cool for at least 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk thickened cream with electric beaters until soft peaks
form and almost doubled in size, 3-4 minutes.
TIP: If you don't have electric beaters, use a metal whisk.
TIP: For maximum volume, chill both your bowl and cream before whipping.
• Pick and thinly slice mint leaves.
• To the whipped cream, add half the mint and stir to combine.
• Dollop a spoonful of mint cream on each meringue nest, then top with the
caramelised pineapple.
• Top with flaked almonds and remaining mint.
• Transfer lemon pineapple mini pavlovas to a platter or serving board. Serve
with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
