PINEAPPLE MOUSSE
Pineapple Mousse is an easy to prepare, light, creamy, summery, vegan dessert. It is unbelievably delicious and perfect for summer parties. I usually prepare it a day ahead to save on time. You just need a few ingredients to prepare this dessert.
Ingredients
- 400 g pineapple chunks canned and approx 3 cups
- 2½ tsp gelatin
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 cup coconut cream 250ml
- ¼ cup water room temperature
Instructions
- Add water in a small heatproof bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over the water. Mix gently and leave it on the side to bloom for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime get the pineapple ready. Puree the pineapple chunks with ¼ cup of the juice or water.
- Strain the pureed pineapple to remove any fibers if there are any. Add turmeric powder if you are using any.
- Heat water in a small pan. Place the bowl with the gelatin over the hot water. Mix till it dissolves.
- Add coconut cream and sugar into a big bowl. Whisk together to mix and till the mixture is a bit frothy.
- Add the pineapple puree and whisk to mix well.
- Add the dissolved gelatin mixture and whisk to mix.
- Pour the mousse into serve cups or bowls.
- Cover the cups or bowls with a lid, cling film or aluminium foil.
- Allow the mousse to set for at least 6-8 hours.
- Top with your favourite topping and serve. I just added some pineapple pieces. Can add chopped pistachio, coconut flakes, or with grated chocolate.
Notes
- If you use fresh pineapple, then you need to cook or stew it in some water to de nature the bromelain. Bromelain present in pineapple doesn't allow gelatin or agar agar to set.
- Can use fresh double or whipping cream instead of coconut cream. But I highly recommend the coconut cream.
- Use any topping of your choice... chopped pineapple, grated chocolate, toasted coconut flakes, etc.
