Dissolve the unflavored gelatin in 1/4 cup of warm water. Stir until fully dissolved and let it cool slightly.
Blend the Base:
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk and crushed pineapple (with its juice). Blend until smooth.
Whip the Cream:
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Combine Ingredients:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pineapple mixture until well combined.
Slowly stir in the dissolved gelatin, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
Chill the Mousse:
Pour the mixture into a large serving bowl or individual dessert cups.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serve and Enjoy:
Garnish with pineapple chunks, mint leaves, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for an extra tropical touch. Serve chilled.
Tips for the Best Mousse
Make it more tropical: Add a few drops of coconut extract for a richer flavor.
Use fresh pineapple: If you prefer fresh pineapple, ensure to cook it briefly before blending, as fresh pineapple can prevent gelatin from setting due to its enzymes.
