Description

This creamy pineapple dessert is light, refreshing, and requires just 4 simple ingredients. Perfect for summer gatherings or as a quick sweet treat, it comes together without the use of gelatin, making it vegetarian-friendly. The natural sweetness of pineapple pairs beautifully with the rich cream, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth tropical delight.

Ingredients  for Creamy Pineapple Dessert Without Gelatin

  • 2 cups crushed pineapple (canned or fresh, drained)

  • 1 cup condensed milk (sweetened)

  • 1 cup fresh cream or heavy whipping cream (chilled)

  • ½ cup sugar (optional, adjust to taste depending on pineapple sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pineapple: Drain excess juice from crushed pineapple. Keep a little juice if you prefer a softer texture.

  2. Whip Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the fresh cream until it becomes light and fluffy.

  3. Combine Base: Add condensed milk and sugar to the whipped cream, folding gently until smooth.

  4. Add Pineapple: Fold in the crushed pineapple evenly.

  5. Chill & Set: Pour mixture into a serving dish or individual cups. Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours.

  6. Serve: Garnish with pineapple chunks, mint leaves, or nuts if desired. Enjoy chilled!

Notes

  • If using canned pineapple, drain well to avoid watery dessert.

  • Fresh pineapple should be slightly ripe and sweet, not too sour.

  • Do not overwhip the cream, or it may turn buttery.

  • Dessert firms up in the fridge without gelatin due to cream thickness and condensed milk.

Tips

  • For a firmer set, freeze for 30 minutes before serving (like semi-ice cream).

  • Add crushed biscuits at the bottom for a layered pudding effect.

  • Mix in shredded coconut for a tropical twist.

  • Reduce or skip sugar if condensed milk is already very sweet.

Servings

This recipe makes 4–6 servings (depending on portion size).
