Dorie says that a dacquoise is typically two round meringue discs which sandwich something yummy. This has three layers of rectangular meringues--the meringues have coconut and ground almonds in them--which sandwich layers of white chocolate whipped cream, and roasted fresh pineapple. The whole thing is spread with the whipped cream and then the sides are decorated with toasted coconut. Gorgeous! And delicious!
