Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 packet Unflavored gelatin powder
- 0.25 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Heavy cream, chilled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 slices Pineapple slices (for garnish, optional)
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
If using canned pineapple, drain excess juice. Puree the pineapple chunks in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pineapple puree, grated ginger, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to heat through. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Allow it to bloom for 5 minutes.
Gently heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or over low heat until fully melted. Stir the melted gelatin into the slightly warm pineapple mixture and mix well. Let it cool to room temperature.
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and continue to whip until medium peaks form, being careful not to overdo it.
Fold the whipped cream gently into the cooled pineapple mixture, ensuring it is evenly incorporated but not deflated.
Divide the Bavarian mixture into individual serving glasses, ramekins, or a large serving dish. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
Before serving, garnish with pineapple slices and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
