About

This cake never goes out of fashion since fashion hasn’t quite reached its place of origin in Hollywood, county down, Northern Ireland. This recipe is inspired by a specialty of my dear aunt Beattie, who’s so fussy when it comes to cooking that she actually brought her own butter and Irish sausages to France for my wedding.

Method

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Transfer to a baking pan approximately 8-inch (2-L) square and press firmly to form a base.

Arrange the caramelized pineapple pieces on top.

Combine the cream and sugar in a bowl and whip until firm, but not solid. Spread the whipped cream over the pineapple layer.

Decorate with the grated chocolate.<
