Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (finely chopped) fresh pineapple
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped pineapple with granulated sugar. Stir well to coat the pineapple evenly. Set aside for 5-10 minutes to allow the sugar to draw out the pineapple juice.
Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the heavy cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. Set the whipped cream aside.
In a separate clean and dry bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy using an electric mixer or whisk. Gradually add the powdered sugar while beating, and continue until the egg whites reach stiff peaks.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the sugared pineapple mixture, ensuring that the ingredients are evenly combined. Be careful not to deflate the cream.
Next, gently fold in the beaten egg whites. Use a light hand to keep the mixture airy and fluffy.
Spoon the pineapple snow into individual serving glasses or dessert bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Optional: Garnish with a sprig of mint or a small wedge of pineapple for a decorative touch. Serve chilled.
