PINEAPPLE-YOGHURT LADYFINGER DESSERT

Steps:

• Drain pineapple and reserve juice.
• Whip cream with icing sugar and vanilla essence until firm peaks form.
• Fold yoghurt into cream - it should be a stiff, thick cream.
• Place ladyfinger biscuits on the bottom of a 20cm x 30cm baking dish or rectangular tupperware container.
• Pour 1 tablespoon of pineapple juice from can over each ladyfinger biscuit soaking them well.
• Cover biscuits with half of the cream and cover with pineapple rings. ( I prefer to chop the rings and then scatter them over the cream layer, as it makes it easier to slice).
• Add another biscuit layer over the pineapple and soak with the remaining pineapple juice.
• Cover with the remaining cream and smooth the layer well.
• Arrange pineapple rings over the top and insert the glace cherries into the holes of the rings.
• Allow to soften and absorb flavours in fridge for at least 4 hours,preferably overnight.
• Edited to add: I recently made this with one tin sliced pineapple and one tin peach halves. I mixed the juices from the tins and decorated the layers and the top with both types of fruit. Personally I liked this version even better than the original one I posted and encourage anyone interested to try different combinations of fruit.
