Instructions
Place the heavy cream in a chilled mixing bowl. Whip until soft peaks form, ensuring it becomes light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, pineapple-flavored powdered drink mix, and powdered milk. Mix well until smooth and powders are fully dissolved.
Gently fold this pineapple mixture into the whipped cream with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the cream.
Transfer into a serving dish or cups. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm and well set.
How to Make (Detailed Notes)
Whipping the cream properly is the key to achieving a light, airy texture without gelatin. The condensed milk adds sweetness and body, while the powdered drink mix delivers fruity tropical flavor. Powdered milk stabilizes the mixture and enhances richness.
Once chilled, the dessert sets into a luscious, spoonable treat with a vibrant pineapple hue.
Variations
Swap the pineapple drink mix for mango, orange, or strawberry.
Add chopped fresh fruit or canned pineapple for texture.
For indulgence, fold in white chocolate chips or top with shredded coconut or crushed cookies.
Create layers with graham cracker crumbs or sponge cake cubes in dessert cups.
Tips
Keep utensils and cream cold for best whipping results.
Avoid overwhipping the cream to prevent graininess.
Ensure powders are fully dissolved before folding in.
Refrigerate long enough for a firm texture. Cover tightly if making ahead to avoid fridge odors.
Conclusion
This creamy pineapple dessert without gelatin proves you don’t need complicated ingredients to create something delicious and refreshing. Quick to prepare, affordable, and packed with tropical flavor — it’s the perfect no-bake treat for any occasion.
