Prepare Custard:
- In a double boiler (or a stainless steel bowl set over a pot of boiling water), combine cornstarch and sugar.
- Gradually whisk in eggs and evaporated milk until smooth.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in softened butter and rum until well incorporated. Allow the mixture to cool.
-
Incorporate Pineapple:
- Once the custard has cooled, gently fold in the pineapple tidbits until evenly distributed.
-
Assemble Dessert:
- Divide the pineapple custard evenly into individual serving dishes, such as sundae containers or custard cups.
- Chill the desserts in the refrigerator while preparing the whipped cream.
-
Prepare Whipped Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- Gradually pour in the rum while continuing to whip until the cream holds stiff peaks.
-
Serve:
- Remove the chilled pineapple custards from the refrigerator.
- Dollop generous spoonfuls of rum-infused whipped cream on top of each dessert.
- Garnish with maraschino cherries and/or nuts for an extra flourish.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the tropical bliss!
Tips:
- Adjust the amount of rum according to your preference for a stronger or milder flavor.
- For a sweeter whipped cream, add a sprinkle of sugar while whipping.
- Ensure the custard is fully cooled before folding in the pineapple to prevent it from becoming watery.
- Customize your toppings with toasted coconut flakes or sliced almonds for added texture.
- Refrigerate any leftovers promptly and consume within a few days for the best taste and texture.
