Absolutely! You can make a super simple, creamy pineapple dessert with just 4 ingredients — no gelatin needed. Here’s a safe and easy recipe:
Creamy Pineapple Dessert (No Gelatin, 4 Ingredients)
Ingredients
- 1 can (20 oz / 565 g) crushed pineapple, drained (reserve a little juice if needed)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: maraschino cherries or pineapple chunks for garnish
Instructions
- Whip the cream
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Fold in pineapple
- Gently fold the drained crushed pineapple into the whipped cream until well combined.
- Chill
- Spoon into serving bowls or a single dish.
- Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to let it set slightly and chill.
- Serve
- Garnish with extra pineapple or cherries if desired.
- Serve cold — it’s creamy, light, and naturally sweet.
Tips
- Adjust sweetness: If your pineapple is very tart, add a little more powdered sugar.
- Texture: For a smoother texture, lightly mash the pineapple before folding it into the cream.
- Extra flavor: A splash of coconut extract or a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top makes it tropical.
If you want, I can also give a version that’s more “cake-like” — like a creamy pineapple pudding dessert you can slice, still with 4–5 ingredients and no gelatin.
