  • 4 TABLESPOONS Rum
  • 175 g Flour

  • 70 g Icing sugar
  • 1 Egg yolk (size M)
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cling film
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Soak gelatine in cold water. Bring milk, almonds and sugar to the boil in a pot. Remove from the heat, allow to cool slightly and dissolve the squeezed gelatine in the milk while stirring. Let almond milk cool down until it starts to gel.

  2. 2

    Whip the cream until stiff and carefully fold into the almond cream. Fill the cream into dessert rings (approx. 5 cm Ø), smooth it down and put it in a cool place for approx. 4 hours. Peel and quarter the pineapple and remove the stalk.

  3. 3

    Cut quarters into fine slices. Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the pulp. Place pineapple, vanilla pulp and rum in a deep plate and marinate for about 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Knead the flour, salt, butter, icing sugar and egg yolks into a smooth dough. Wrap dough in cling film and chill for approx. 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Roll out the dough on a floured work surface until it is about 3 mm thin and cut out circles (about 5 cm Ø). Place circles on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see
