In this article, I’ll guide you step-by-step on how to make a delicious pineapple dessert that’s light, refreshing, and easy to whip up with just a few ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 fresh ripe pineapple (or 1 can of pineapple chunks in juice)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free version)
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Optional toppings: toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Pineapple
- If using fresh pineapple, start by peeling, coring, and cutting the pineapple into bite-sized chunks.
- For canned pineapple, drain the juice and pat the chunks dry with a paper towel to avoid excess moisture in the dessert.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
- In a chilled mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream.
- Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the cream until soft peaks begin to form.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to whip until medium peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip or it will become grainy.
Step 3: Combine Pineapple and Cream
- Gently fold the pineapple chunks into the whipped cream, reserving a few pieces for garnish.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the mixture if you like a warm, spicy note.
