Ingredients

• 1 can (395g) Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Coconut cream
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 2 teaspoons Gelatin powder
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (toasted, optional)
• 6 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat the bloomed gelatin mixture in the microwave or over low heat on the stove for about 10-15 seconds until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, coconut cream, and vanilla extract. Whip the mixture using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until slightly thickened and well combined.

Step 4

Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Gradually pour the dissolved gelatin into the creamy mixture while continuing to stir gently to avoid lumps.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into serving glasses, ramekins, or a large serving bowl, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the dessert is fully set and chilled.

Step 8

Before serving, sprinkle the top with toasted shredded coconut for added texture and garnish with mint leaves, if desired.

Step 9

Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy tropical flavors of this South African-inspired delight!
