Ingredients

6 serves

Method

  1. Drain the pineapple and mandarin oranges well in two sieves and pat dry with paper towels so the layers stay neat.

  2. Beat the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla with a hand mixer until it holds soft-firm peaks.

  3. Spoon the pineapple into the bottom of 6 small clear cups, filling each about halfway.

  4. Add a layer of mandarin segments on top, filling to about an inch from the rim.

  5. Top each cup with a swirl of whipped cream and serve right away.

Tips

  • Narrow, tall cups show off the yellow, orange and white stripes best.
  • Use canned whipped cream to save a few minutes, adding it just before serving.
  • The fruit can be layered up to a day ahead and refrigerated; add the cream when serving.
