No-Sugar Pineapple Gelatin Dessert Recipe

This light and refreshing dessert is perfect for those looking to satisfy their sweet tooth without any added sugar. Made with natural pineapple flavor and gelatin, it’s a low-calorie, keto-friendly treat that’s easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (20 oz) unsweetened pineapple chunks (or pineapple juice if you prefer a smoother texture)

  • 1 pack (0.3 oz) sugar-free pineapple gelatin (or any sugar-free gelatin of your choice)

  • 1 cup water

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)

Full Recipe:

  1. Prepare the Gelatin:

    • In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.

    • Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the sugar-free pineapple gelatin until fully dissolved.

  2. Add Pineapple:

    • Add the pineapple chunks (or juice) to the gelatin mixture. If using chunks, make sure they are chopped into smaller pieces for a more even texture.

  3. Optional: Add Cream:

    • For a creamier texture, you can add 1/4 cup of heavy cream at this point, but it’s completely optional.

  4. Chill the Mixture:

    • Pour the mixture into a dish or individual cups. Let it cool down a bit before placing it in the refrigerator.

    • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

  5. Serve:

    • Once set, serve chilled! You can garnish with extra pineapple pieces or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Notes:

  • Gelatin Variety: You can use different sugar-free flavored gelatins, such as lemon or peach, for variety.

  • Sweetness: The sweetness of the pineapple chunks should be enough, but you can adjust the amount of sweetener if you like.

  • Texture: For a smoother dessert, blend the pineapple chunks into a puree before adding them to the gelatin mixture.

Tips:

  • If you’re using pineapple juice, consider adding a few drops of stevia or monk fruit sweetener to enhance the sweetness.

  • For a more festive presentation, you can top this dessert with fresh fruit or mint leaves.

Servings:

This recipe serves about 6-8 people, depending on portion sizes.

Q&A for Pineapple Gelatin Dessert:

Q: Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned? A: Yes, you can use fresh pineapple, but be sure to chop it into small pieces. Fresh pineapple may cause the gelatin to not set as well due to its natural enzymes, so it might need a bit more time to firm up.

Q: Can I make this without the cream? A: Absolutely! The cream is optional and only adds a richer texture. If you prefer a lighter version, you can skip it and the dessert will still be delicious.

Q: How can I make this vegan? A: To make this dessert vegan, you can substitute the gelatin with agar-agar, which is plant-based.
