Creamy and Simple Pineapple Gelatin Dessert Recipe

If you’re looking for an easy, creamy, and delightful dessert that requires minimal ingredients and preparation time, this 3-ingredient pineapple gelatin dessert is the perfect solution. It’s incredibly simple, yet it offers a light, refreshing, and indulgent treat that everyone will love. Whether it’s for a special occasion or a casual family meal, this dessert is a great choice for rounding off a lunch or dinner.

Recipe Ingredients:

• 300 ml of hot water (this helps to dissolve the gelatin properly)
• 2 cartons of cream (usually 200 ml each; you can use heavy cream or any type of cream available)
• 2 cartons of pineapple-flavored gelatin (this will give the dessert its tropical, fruity flavor)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Gelatin: Start by bringing 300 ml of water to a boil. In a separate bowl, add your 2 cartons of pineapple-flavored gelatin powder. Carefully pour the hot water over the gelatin and stir vigorously with a spoon or whisk. Keep stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved into the hot water. This step is crucial to ensure there are no granules left and the gelatin blends smoothly into the liquid.
2. Add the Cream: Once the gelatin mixture has dissolved completely, it’s time to introduce the cream. Pour in both cartons of cream. It’s important to use cream that is chilled if possible, as it helps to create a creamier, thicker texture once everything is mixed. Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine the gelatin and cream, making sure there are no lumps, and you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
3. Chill the Mixture: Next, take a glass dish (a 9×9-inch dish or any medium-sized serving dish should work well) and pour the creamy mixture into it. Smooth the top with a spatula or spoon to make it even. Once it’s in the dish, cover the top with plastic wrap. Be sure to press the wrap directly against the surface of the mixture to prevent it from forming a skin while it sets. Place the dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 3 hours. The gelatin needs this time to firm up and set into a smooth, creamy texture.
4. Serve and Enjoy: After 3 hours, your dessert will be ready to serve. Remove the dish from the fridge and peel off the plastic wrap. You’ll notice the mixture has set into a beautifully smooth, creamy dessert with a lovely tropical flavor from the pineapple gelatin. Slice it into squares or serve in individual portions. Optionally, you can garnish with a few pineapple chunks or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

Tips and Variations:

• Flavor Variations: While pineapple-flavored gelatin gives a refreshing tropical taste, feel free to experiment with other gelatin flavors, such as strawberry, raspberry, or lemon, to suit your preferences.
• Add Fruit: For added texture and freshness, you can mix in small pieces of fresh fruit like pineapple, berries, or kiwi before refrigerating.
• Make It Lighter: If you prefer a lighter version, you can swap out regular cream for a lighter whipped cream or even use a non-dairy option.

This dessert is a great make-ahead treat for busy days or gatherings, and the best part is that it’s made with just three ingredients, making it incredibly simple without sacrificing flavor or texture. Whether you’re craving something creamy and sweet or just need a quick dessert to impress your guests, this pineapple gelatin dessert is a winner every time.
