Ingredients
• The Tropical Base: 2 cups fresh Pineapple (blended and strained) or 100% pure Pineapple Juice (no sugar added).
• The Creamy Set: 2 cups Plain Greek Yogurt or blended Cottage Cheese (this provides the “magic” creaminess seen in your photo).
• The “Zero” Binder: 2 packets of Unflavored Gelatin (or Agar-Agar for a plant-based “wow”).
• Optional Sweetener: A few drops of Liquid Stevia or Monk Fruit if your pineapple isn’t quite at peak ripeness.
Preparation Steps
1. Bloom the Gelatin: Place ½ cup of your pineapple juice in a small glass bowl. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin on top and let it sit for 2 minutes to “bloom.”
2. Heat the Magic: Gently warm the remaining pineapple juice in a saucepan over low heat (do not boil!). Stir in the bloomed gelatin until it is completely dissolved and clear.
3. The Smooth Blend: In a blender or large bowl, combine your Greek yogurt (or velvety blended cottage cheese) with the warm pineapple mixture.
4. Whip It: Blend on high for 30 seconds. This incorporates air and creates that light, “cloud-like” texture shown in your picture.
5. The Pour: Pour the mixture into a large glass bowl, just like the one on your counter.
6. Set: Place in the refrigerator. While the prep takes only 10 minutes, let it chill for at least 2 hours to achieve that perfect “clean-cut” spoonful seen in your photo.
