    First time visiting, really like your blog. Bookmarked it. This looks gorgeous, I've seen banana bread pudding, never pineapple. Very creative.

      Hi Indhu!!
      If you cant find whipping cream , just use heavy cream( 4 cups).The only difference between the two is that whipping cream has a lower fat content compared to heavy cream. ( If you are in India ,try Amul Fresh cream)..
