Difficulty: Easy
Prepare the fruit:
Cut the pineapple and bananas into pieces. Marinate them in the sugar syrup mixed with rum.
Prepare the vanilla Bavarian cream (recipe below). Whip the chantilly cream. Dice the candied angelica into small cubes.
Assemble the verrines:
Layer drained pineapple at the bottom of each glass, followed by a layer of vanilla Bavarian cream, then drained bananas. Repeat until the glass is full. Pipe whipped cream on top, dust lightly with ground cardamom, and garnish with half a diced strawberry (seasonal), a few pieces of angelica, and a fresh mint leaf.
Vanilla Bavarian Cream (Expert Tip):
Soften the gelatin sheets in cold water, rinse, and drain. Prepare the vanilla custard. While still hot, stir in the gelatin until fully dissolved. Place the container in a larger bowl with ice cubes and stir until the mixture thickens to about 20°C. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
