Equipment

  • pot
  • Blender
  • jigger
  • Serving Glass

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces of Goya Coconut Milk enriching the dessert with a creamy and velvety texture, delivering a distinct coconut flavor that complements the other ingredients perfectly.
  • 1/2 sachet of unflavored gelatin acting as a binding agent to set and firm the dessert, ensuring a smooth and cohesive consistency throughout.
  • Maraschino Cherries for garnish offering a vibrant and visually appealing touch to the dessert, adding a pop of color and a hint of sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup of water serving as the liquid component to dissolve the gelatin, ensuring a smooth and cohesive texture in the final dessert.
  • Grated Coconut for garnish providing a delightful tropical aroma and a subtle nutty flavor, enhancing the visual presentation and adding a delightful texture.
  • 1 ounce of Goya Cream of Coconut adding a rich and sweet coconut essence to the dessert, intensifying the tropical flavors and creating a luxurious mouthfeel.
  • 5 ounces of Goya Condensed Milk providing a rich and creamy sweetness to the dessert, adding a luscious and indulgent flavor.
  • 1/2 can 7.5 ounces of Goya Crushed Pineapple, introducing a tropical and tangy element to the dish, infusing it with a burst of fruity goodness.

Instructions

  • Start by preparing the Gelatin. In a small bowl, add ½ cup of water and sprinkle unflavored gelatin over it. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom (absorb the water).
  • Heat the condensed milk, coconut cream and coconut milk together in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the bloomed gelatin to the milk mixture and whisk it together until everything is dissolved. Turn off the heat and let it cool.
  • In a separate bowl, add crushed pineapple and mix in 1 tablespoon of pineapple syrup from the can.
  • Next, add the cooled milk mixture to the pineapple and mix it together.
  • Scoop out some of the mixtures into individual serving cups or ramekins and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Before serving, top each mousse with maraschino cherries and grated coconut.

Notes

  • You can also use pineapple juice or fresh pineapple chunks instead of crushed pineapple.
  • If you don’t have maraschino cherries, you can use any other type of fruit for garnish.
