Coconut and almond meringue circles, layered with a creamy frosting and roasted pineapple. Dorie's creamy frosting was a white chocolate ganache, which I actually bought the chocolate for, but then decided to switch out for one layer of greek yogurt and two layers of Dorie's amazing lemon cream, which I had made to fill the sample wedding cake (see last week). The result was a little different than what the original recipe would have given me, but the technique was the same, and it looked lovely and sliced cleanly. Next time, if I could get past just shoving fistfuls of roasted pineapple into my mouth, I would leave out the white chocolate and do this with plain, very lightly sweetened whipped cream.

white chocolate is ick.
I've never tried greek yogurt but I hear so much about it, I'll have to try it!
You're so funny about fistfuls of roasted pineapple! I think your version of the dacquoise looks really yummy!
i just realized the picture on the top of your blog is the oven. i always thought it was an ear or an old fashioned telephone.
