Pineapple Souffle

My love affair with pineapples has grown more experimental and luscious since a while. I've been searching out recipes for desserts, braising and juicing. This dessert was inspired by the thought of the canned pineapples that I have purchased recently. My new theme now is  the "one new dessert every weekend". So continuing this tradition, I extend my efforts to whip up something interesting every weekend. It was the turn for a delicious soufflé in my kitchen.

Here is a sweet-tart-cool and incredibly refreshing  summery dessert for the weekend. It works perfectly to close out your barbecue and perfectly after a day outside frolicking in the sun when you need a quick cool down. I love it because it's quite sweet n tart, and almost all the sweetness comes from the natural sugars in your pineapple. Make sure to get a really ripe one or the canned pack and it'll be perfect.
