A delightful and refreshing recipe for a **Creamy Pineapple Gelatin Dessert** that’s perfect for warm weather, gatherings, or anytime you want a light, tropical treat!

### **Creamy Pineapple Gelatin Dessert**

#### **Ingredients:**

– **1 liter (34 fl oz) water**

– **1 fresh pineapple** (peeled, cored, and diced)

– **100g (3.5 oz) sugar** (adjust to taste)

– **1 package (about 25g) gelatin powder** (unflavored)

– **1 cup (240ml) heavy cream** (or coconut cream for a dairy-free version)

– **1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract** (optional, for added flavor)

### **Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Pineapple Puree:**

   – Place the fresh pineapple chunks into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. You should have about 2 cups of pineapple puree. Set aside.

2. **Dissolve the Gelatin:**

   – In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over **1/4 cup of cold water** and let it bloom for about 5 minutes (it will absorb the water and swell up).

   – In a medium saucepan, bring the **remaining 3/4 liter of water** and the sugar to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. **Combine the Gelatin with Pineapple:**

   – Once the sugar has dissolved, add the bloomed gelatin to the warm water and stir well until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

   – Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the pineapple puree, mixing until everything is well combined.

4. **Add Cream:**

   – In a separate bowl, lightly whip the **heavy cream** until soft peaks form.

   – Gently fold the whipped cream into the pineapple gelatin mixture, creating a creamy texture. If you want extra flavor, you can add the **vanilla extract** at this stage.

5. **Chill the Dessert:**

   – Pour the creamy pineapple gelatin mixture into individual serving glasses or a large mold (depending on your preference).

   – Place the dessert in the fridge and let it chill for at least **4-6 hours**, or until fully set. It will firm up into a creamy, jiggly treat.

6. **Serve:**

   – Once the dessert has set, you can optionally garnish it with extra pineapple chunks, shredded coconut, or a few mint leaves for a decorative touch.

   – Serve cold and enjoy this refreshing tropical dessert!

### **Enjoy Your Creamy Pineapple Gelatin Dessert!**

This dessert has the perfect balance of sweetness, creaminess, and tropical pineapple flavor. It’s simple to make, and you can even make it ahead of time for an easy, no-fuss treat!

### **Tips:**

– For an even richer flavor, you can substitute the heavy cream with **coconut cream** for a tropical twist.

– If you don’t want to use gelatin, you could substitute agar-agar (a plant-based alternative), but make sure to follow the instructions on the packet as it may require slightly different preparation.

Let me know how it turns out – I’m sure it’ll be a hit! ????
