🍍 Creamy Pineapple Dessert (4 Ingredients, No Gelatin)
🧾 Ingredients

1 can (20 oz / 565 g) crushed pineapple – very well drained
-
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
-
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
-
½ cup cream cheese, softened (room temperature)
👩🍳 Directions (Step by Step)
1️⃣ Drain the Pineapple
-
Open the can of crushed pineapple.
-
Pour it into a strainer and press firmly with a spoon to remove as much liquid as possible.
-
This step is important so the dessert becomes thick and creamy.
2️⃣ Whip the Cream
-
In a cold mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream.
-
Whip using a whisk or hand mixer until stiff peaks form (the cream should hold its shape).
-
Set aside in the refrigerator.
3️⃣ Make the Creamy Base
-
In another bowl, add the softened cream cheese.
-
Beat until smooth and creamy (no lumps).
-
Slowly mix in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
4️⃣ Combine Everything
-
Gently fold the drained pineapple into the cream cheese mixture.
-
Next, fold in the whipped cream carefully using a spatula.
-
Mix slowly so the dessert stays light and fluffy.
5️⃣ Chill
-
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual cups.
-
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until firm and well chilled.
