Cut off the bottom of the biscuit, creating a crust 5 mm thick.
Cut the rest of the biscuit into small cubes. Chop nuts, finely dice pineapple and banana.
Lay out in a deep container of food film. We put the cream on the bottom, lay out the biscuit cubes, nuts, pineapple and banana on it.
We dip the cubes of sponge cake in the cream, put them on the sliced fruit. So form the rest of the layers of fillings.
