- Preparation Time: 10 minutes
- Chilling Time: 5-6 hours
- Servings: 6-8
Ingredients:
- 20 oz crushed pineapple
- 1/2 tin condensed milk (about 7 oz)
- 8 oz tub of Cool Whip (or homemade whipped cream)
Method:
- Prepare the Pineapple:
Begin by draining the crushed pineapple thoroughly to remove excess liquid. This step is crucial to ensure your dessert sets properly and isn’t too watery. - Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, condensed milk, and Cool Whip (or homemade whipped cream if you prefer a less processed option). Fold gently until the mixture is well incorporated and smooth. - Chill the Dessert:
Transfer the mixture into small dessert bowls for individual servings or into a large serving bowl. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5 to 6 hours, or until the dessert is set and firm. - Serve:
Once set, this Easy Pineapple Dessert is ready to be served. It can be enjoyed as is, or you can garnish it with additional pineapple chunks, a sprinkle of toasted coconut, or a cherry on top for a more festive look.
Tip:
- Homemade Whipped Cream Variation: For a homemade touch, you can whip 1.5 cups of cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the condensed milk and drained crushed pineapple. This variation adds a fresh and light texture, enhancing the overall flavor of the dessert.
