Preparation

Step 1
Combine the raspberry and mango purees, and mix well. Using a double-boiler or microwave oven, melt together the butter and chocolate. Mix well and transfer to a serving dish.
Step 2
Place the cake on a platter and fill the center hole with pineapple chunks. Drizzle some of the fruit puree over the cake and place the rest in a bowl to serve separately. Squirt or spoon puffs of whipped cream on top of the cake. Sprinkle jelly beans on and around the cake. To serve, place a slice of cake and some pineapple on a plate and garnish with a scoop or two of ice cream. Pass chocolate sauce and fruit puree separately.
