Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
- 1 package Jelly mix (pineapple or preferred flavor)
- 250 milliliters Hot water
- 250 milliliters Cold water
- 1 package Vanilla pudding mix
- 500 milliliters Milk (for the pudding mix)
- 100 grams Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 5 grams Chopped mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the jelly according to the package instructions. Dissolve the jelly mix in 250 milliliters of hot water, then stir in 250 milliliters of cold water. Allow it to cool slightly.
Divide the pineapple chunks evenly into serving glasses or a medium-sized dessert bowl.
Pour the slightly cooled jelly mixture over the pineapple chunks so that the chunks are submerged. Transfer the glasses or bowl to the refrigerator and let the jelly set for approximately 3-4 hours, or until firm.
While the jelly is setting, prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package instructions. Combine the pudding mix with 500 milliliters of milk in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking continuously, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Once the jelly has fully set and the pudding has cooled, spoon the pudding over the jelly layer in each glass or over the set jelly in the dessert bowl.
Chill the assembled pudding in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to firm up together.
Before serving, optionally garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped mint leaves.
