There are several different ways to make a charlotte with pineapple filling.

  1. Place the pineapples in the bottom of the pan and pour the sponge batter over them. Be sure to generously and thoroughly grease the bottom of the pan with butter to prevent the fruit from burning. A thick-bottomed pan is best.
  2. Pour a small ball of batter into the pan, then add the pineapple, then pour in the remaining batter. The pie looks very pretty when cut into pieces, and the taste of this charlotte is much better.
  3. Pour the batter into the pan and top with pineapples. This option is perfect for those looking to surprise guests with a festive cake. The fruit topping on the charlotte looks very elegant and unusual. A good oven will gently brown the dessert, and the pie will develop a beautiful pattern.

Answers to frequently asked questions:

What kind of pineapples should I use for charlotte?
Any pineapple will do for the charlotte: fresh or canned.
What should pineapples be like?

Pineapples must be of good quality and fresh.

For canned pineapples, pay attention to the expiration date. For fresh pineapples, check their appearance. A ripe pineapple will have an oval shape, a dry stem, and a thick stem—this type of fruit is much sweeter.

As for the filling itself, drain the canned fruit first. You can use pineapple rings or sliced ​​pineapple. To prevent the pulp from "drowning" in the batter, you can roll it in flour, starch, or even coconut flakes. Incidentally, if you need more sweetness, you can also roll the pineapple in sugar.

Is it possible to not use sugar?
Of course! If you want to make the charlotte less caloric, omit the sugar from the ingredients or replace it with a small amount of sweetener.

Pineapple charlotte is a wonderful, delicious and unusual dessert to pair with tea. Want the whole family to gather around the table? No need to wait for the holidays—make this charlotte!
