Ingredients
  

For the Cream Base
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk Use light coconut milk for a lighter version.

  • 1/2 cup Sugar Try honey or maple syrup for a natural touch.
  • 2 teaspoons Gelatin Use agar-agar for a vegan-friendly option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Always choose pure vanilla for the best taste.
For the Pineapple Topping
  • 1 cup Fresh Pineapple Experiment with mango or passion fruit for a different twist.
  • 2 tablespoons Pineapple Juice Enhance the tropical flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Toasted Coconut Flakes Use unsweetened for a healthier option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes spongy.
  2. In a medium saucepan, blend together the coconut milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and incorporate the bloomed gelatin into the warm cream mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Carefully pour the creamy mixture into serving molds, cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  5. When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges of the molds to loosen and invert onto plates. Top with diced pineapple and a drizzle of juice.
