Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (20 oz) Crushed pineapple (in its own juice, unsweetened)
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 packet (about 2.5 teaspoons) Gelatin (unflavored)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Open the can of crushed pineapple and drain the juice into a small bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup of the juice and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to bloom.
Microwave the gelatin mixture for 10-15 seconds until dissolved. Stir well and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and the reserved 1/4 cup pineapple juice to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined and smooth.
Stir the dissolved gelatin into the cream cheese mixture and mix thoroughly.
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple gently with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Spoon the mixture into individual serving dishes or a large serving bowl. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
Cover and refrigerate the pudding for at least 4 hours or overnight, until set and chilled.
Before serving, optionally garnish with unsweetened shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
