Ingredients
- 1 pineapple, cut into cubes
- 2 tbsp (30 g) sugar
- 500 ml (2 cups) water
- 2 packets pineapple-flavored gelatin (about 14 g total)
- 1 box (approximately 395 g) condensed milk
- 2 cans (about 400 g each) cream
Method of Preparation
1. Prepare the Pineapple
We start by cutting the pineapple into small cubes and placing them in a saucepan. To enhance the natural sweetness, we add 2 tablespoons of sugar and stir the mixture gently, allowing the sugar to begin dissolving and infusing the pineapple with flavor.
2. Cook the Pineapple
Next, we pour 500 ml of water into the pan with the pineapple and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Once it reaches a boil, we turn off the heat, allowing the mixture to cool slightly. This step helps soften the pineapple and brings out its juicy flavor.
3. Add the Gelatin
Once the pineapple mixture has cooled, we add 2 packets of pineapple-flavored gelatin. We mix well until the gelatin is completely dissolved, ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture. We set this mixture aside to cool completely.
4. Blend the Cream Mixture
In a blender, we combine 1 can of condensed milk and 2 cans of cream. We blend these ingredients for about 1 minute until smooth and well incorporated. This creamy mixture will form the base for our dessert, adding richness and sweetness.
5. Combine the Mixtures
Now, we pour the blended cream mixture over the cooled pineapple and gelatin mixture in the pan. We gently mix everything together, ensuring that the pineapple is evenly distributed within the creamy base.
6. Set in the Mold
To prepare for freezing, we grease a mold with a little oil to prevent sticking. We then pour the combined mixture into the prepared mold, smoothing the top with a spatula. This ensures an even surface for the final product.
7. Freeze
We place the mold in the freezer and allow it to set for at least 2 hours. This chilling time allows the dessert to firm up and develop its delightful texture.
8. Unmold and Serve
Once set, we carefully unmold the dessert onto a serving plate. The vibrant layers of pineapple and creamy mixture will create an eye-catching presentation. Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the refreshing combination of flavors.
