Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pineapple (crushed, canned, with juice)
- 0.5 cups Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple (with its juice) and sugar. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring the mixture just to a boil, then remove it from the heat.
Step 2: In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 3: Once the gelatin has bloomed, stir it into the hot pineapple mixture until fully dissolved. Set the mixture aside to cool to room temperature.
Step 4: While the pineapple mixture is cooling, whip the heavy cream in a clean, chilled bowl until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and gently fold it into the whipped cream.
Step 5: Once the pineapple mixture has cooled but is still liquid, gently fold it into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the cream.
Step 6: Pour the mixture into a large serving bowl or individual dessert cups. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Step 7: Garnish with fresh pineapple slices or a sprig of mint, if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
