Instructions
- 1
Boil the flesh of 3 small pineapples with 1 cup of granulated sugar.
- 2
Once the pineapple mixture is cooked, transfer it to a medium-sized ovenproof dish and set aside while you prepare the custard.
- 3
Place a sieve over a saucepan, add the egg yolks and pierce them with a fork. Leave them undisturbed until they have all passed through the sieve.
- 4
Add the sweetened condensed milk and cornstarch to the strained yolks and whisk well until all the cornstarch has dissolved.
- 5
Add the powdered milk and mix well, then add the milk and mix well again.
- 6
Turn on the heat and stir constantly until the custard begins to thicken.

Once it starts to thicken, keep stirring for three minutes to cook the cornstarch thoroughly.

Turn off the heat, add the vanilla essence and mix very well.

Pour the custard over the reserved pineapple mixture, spread it evenly, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for three hours.

Now finish with the topping.

Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. I used an electric whisk.

Stop the whisk, add the sugar and beat until very stiff peaks form.

Gently fold in the cream using a hand whisk. Spread the topping evenly over the thoroughly chilled custard and pineapple layers.
