Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (395g) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 2 teaspoons Gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (toasted, optional)
- 6 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Heat the bloomed gelatin mixture in the microwave or over low heat on the stove for about 10-15 seconds until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, coconut cream, and vanilla extract. Whip the mixture using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until slightly thickened and well combined.
Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Gradually pour the dissolved gelatin into the creamy mixture while continuing to stir gently to avoid lumps.
Pour the mixture into serving glasses, ramekins, or a large serving bowl, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the dessert is fully set and chilled.
Before serving, sprinkle the top with toasted shredded coconut for added texture and garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy tropical flavors of this South African-inspired delight!
