Pineapple Icecream Bombe

Quick fix dessert

You have guests coming all of a sudden and you don't know what to serve for dessert ? or maybe you just don't feel like making something elaborate or time consuming ?
Doesn't happen with me most of the time, but sometimes yes !! you just don't have the time to do everything.
So what do you do ? make a cheat's dessert....Its ok its allowed..as long as it tastes good.
I don't have any exact quantities for this one as i just eyeballed it.

Ingredients:
3/4  -  1/2 a pineapple (pureed with 1 tbsp sugar)
500 ml vanilla ice cream
sponge cake ( I used my leftover mawa cake )
3 -4 slices of pineapple ( cut into quarters )

Method:
Take any round bowl and line it with either aluminium foil or cling wrap (preferably don't use a glass bowl as it becomes difficult to overturn when set)
mix your vanilla ice cream with half of the pineapple puree until properly combined.
cook the rest of the puree with 1/4 cup of water and 1- 2 tsp sugar until somewhat thick and add 1 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in water to make a nice glossy glaze. cook for another 1 minute and cool.

add some of the pineapple ice cream  in the bottom of your bowl. then cover with thinly sliced cake, then add another layer of ice cream and cover with another layer of cake. continue until your bowl is full. I didn't want a lot so had used a rather small bowl. but you can adjust the quantities accordingly.
freeze for 5 -6 hours or preferably overnight.
turn over once properly chilled and set, decorate with sliced pineapple and drizzle with glaze.

you can also straight away use pineapple flavored ice cream, but i prefer the natural pineapple flavor to the artificial tasting store brought one.
