Directions

SORBET

Slice brioche loaf lengthways into half inch slices and using one of the rings, cut out a top and bottom for each one (x8 discs). Using the side of the ring to measure, cut out 8 strips of the correct width for the sides of the charlotte. Line all 4 rings with the brioche, saving 4 discs for the tops and set aside.

In a frying pan or saucepan, sprinkle the base with the sugar and place on the heat. When the sugar starts to caramelise, add the butter and stir with a wooden spoon. Add orange zest and juice and vanilla seeds and a pinch of ground cinnamon. Bring to the boil and gently cook until the sugar dissolves. Strain the pineapple chunks and add to the pan. Cook gently until the syrup starts to thicken and coat pineapple. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a while.

Spoon the mixture equally into the four rings and push the disc on top.

Press down firmly. Then turn them up the other way. Press down firmly again and place on a baking sheet and into a hot oven for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Place each one in the centre of a plate and serve with coconut ice cream.
