Step-by-step
- To make the pineapple compote: Mix together cubed pineapple, sugar, water, and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan, and cook over medium-high heat for about 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until pineapple becomes tender, lightly golden brown, and water nearly evaporates.
- Near the end of the cooking process, keep a close eye on the compote to prevent burning, since the liquid will have almost evaporated (leave about ½ cup of liquid for use later in the recipe).
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- To make the custard cream: Dissolve the cornstarch well in about 3 tablespoons of whole milk.
- Fill the measuring can with the remaining amount of milk and pour the milk and dissolved cornstarch into a medium stainless steel saucepan.
- Stir in the condensed milk, egg yolks, and vanilla bean seeds (if using vanilla extract, add it when cooked and about to be removed from the heat).
- Whisk the mixture over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes or until it just starts to thicken.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and use a wood spoon to continue stirring for about 4-5 minutes, resulting in a creamy and thickened mixture.
- Remove from the heat, transfer to a glass container, place plastic wrap directly on top, and let cool on a rack.
- To make the chantilly cream: Beat egg whites on high speed until stiff, about 2 minutes.
- Add sugar and beat for about 30 seconds on medium speed.
- Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, and beat for about 15 seconds on low speed.
- To assemble the trifle: In a loaf pan, pour in the Chantilly cream in an even layer.
- Freeze for about 45 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer, and pour custard cream on top in an even layer.
- Freeze for about 45-60 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer, remove cinnamon stick from the pineapple compote, and spoon the cooked pineapple cubes evenly over the dessert.
- Reserve about ½ of the liquid in the refrigerator.
- Cover pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 24 hours.
- Before serving, unmold frozen trifle and let soften for about 4-5 minutes at room temperature.
- Drizzle reserved pineapple liquid on top if desired, decorate, and slice to serve.
