ingredients

  • 1 Castello® Tropical fruit & almond cream cheese
  • ½ pineapple
  • ⅖ cup of light honey (or light syrup)
  • 6- 8 fresh cape gooseberries
  • bunch of fresh mint leaves

preparation

Preparation

1. Cut the pineapple as thin as possible. You might want to use a mandolin or other form of slicer. Cut away the edge of the pineapple. Now place the slices on a baking sheet and brush each one with a light syrup.

2. Bake the pineapples for around 30-45 minutes at 120 degrees. The baking time depends on the thickness so keep an eye on them. They may get a little colour but the primary purpose is for them to dry into beautifully crunchy ´crackers´.

3. Top each dried and crispy pineapple slice with 1-2 slices of Castello Pineapple & Almond Cream Cheese and half a goldenberry. Decorate with a couple of mint leaves.

4. Enjoy this beautiful combination of fruity, creamy and crunchy!
