  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 1 can pineapple slices
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup mascarpone
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine granulated sugar and water. Stir occasionally until the mixture turns golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  2. Quickly pour the caramel into each mold while it's still hot, ensuring even distribution across all molds.
  3. Place one pineapple slice on top of each pool of caramel in the molds, pressing them down gently.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, mascarpone, flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and lump-free.
