Ingredients

• 250 grams Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
• 100 grams Sugar
• 500 milliliters Milk
• 200 milliliters Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Gelatin powder
• 3 tablespoons Water (for gelatin)
• 0 Optional: Fresh mint leaves or whipped cream

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

Step 2

If using canned pineapple, drain it well to remove any excess liquid. If using fresh pineapple, chop it into small chunks. Blend half of the pineapple into a smooth puree and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and cornstarch. Whisk thoroughly to dissolve the cornstarch, ensuring no lumps remain.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This will take about 8-10 minutes.

Step 5

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.

Step 6

Add the pineapple puree, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the mixture, mixing well to combine.

Step 7

Gently fold in the remaining pineapple chunks for added texture.

Step 8

Pour the pudding mixture into serving bowls, ramekins, or a large dish. Cover with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pudding for at least 4 hours or until set.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh mint leaves or whipped cream before serving, if desired.
