Here’s a light and creamy recipe for Pineapple Mousse — a refreshing dessert that’s perfect for hot days or dinner parties.
🍍 Pineapple Mousse
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1 cup fresh or canned pineapple, chopped (drain if canned)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon gelatin (or agar-agar for vegetarian version)
- 3 tablespoons cold water
Optional Garnish:
- Pineapple chunks, mint leaves, or toasted coconut
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Gelatin
- Sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- Warm gently (microwave or stovetop) until fully dissolved; do not boil.
2️⃣ Blend Pineapple
- Puree pineapple in a blender until smooth.
3️⃣ Whip Cream
- Whip heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Fold in the pineapple puree gently.
4️⃣ Add Gelatin
- Slowly fold the dissolved gelatin into the mousse mixture until fully incorporated.
5️⃣ Chill
- Pour into serving glasses or bowls.
- Refrigerate 2–3 hours or until set.
6️⃣ Serve
- Garnish with pineapple chunks, mint, or toasted coconut before serving.
💡 Tips
- For extra fluffiness, fold whipped cream in two stages to avoid deflating.
- Use fresh pineapple for a brighter, tangier flavor.
- For a tropical twist, add a few tablespoons of coconut milk.
If you want, I can also give a no-bake pineapple mousse with cream cheese and condensed milk version that’s richer and easier for parties.
Do you want me to do that?
