  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 can pineapple slices (in juice)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup mascarpone
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the granulated sugar and water over medium heat until the mixture dissolves and turns golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  2. Carefully pour the caramel into greased muffin molds, then place one pineapple slice on top of each mold, ensuring they sit flat against the caramel.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, eggs, vanilla extract, and mascarpone until smooth; the batter should be thick yet pourable.
  4. Spoon or pour the batter evenly over each pineapple slice in the molds until they are about two-thirds full to allow for rising.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean; let cool for five minutes before inverting onto plates.
