Ingredients For Pineapple Gelatin Dessert (No Sugar, 2 Ingredients, 10 Minutes)

• 1 can (400 ml) sugar-free pineapple juice (or fresh, unsweetened pineapple juice)

• 2 tbsp (about 20g) unflavored gelatin powder (or agar-agar for a vegan option)

(Optional: few pineapple chunks for garnish or texture)

 Instructions:

1. Heat the juice:
   Pour pineapple juice into a saucepan and warm over medium heat — don’t let it boil, just heat until hot.

2. Dissolve gelatin:
   Sprinkle gelatin over the warm juice and whisk continuously until it completely dissolves (about 2 minutes).

3. Pour into molds:
   Pour the mixture into small cups, bowls, or a large dish.

4. Chill to set:
   Refrigerate for about 2–3 hours or until firm.

5. Serve:
   Once set, cut into cubes or unmold. Garnish with a mint leaf or pineapple chunks if desired. Enjoy chilled!

 Notes:

• For a vegan version, use agar-agar instead of gelatin (same process but it sets faster).

• Ensure the pineapple juice is unsweetened and not fresh raw juice with enzymes, as raw pineapple can prevent gelatin from setting (use canned or pasteurized juice).

• You can experiment with other fruit juices like orange or mango.

 Tips:

• To enhance flavor, add a splash of lemon juice for tanginess.

• If using fresh pineapple juice, heat it thoroughly to deactivate enzymes before adding gelatin.

• For layered gelatin: make half the batch first, chill until half-set, then pour the second layer for a two-tone look.

 Servings:

Makes 4 servings (about ½ cup each).
