No-Bake Pineapple and Condensed Milk Dessert
This No-Bake Pineapple and Condensed Milk Dessert is a creamy, refreshing treat that’s incredibly easy to make. With just a few ingredients and no baking required, it’s the perfect dessert for warm days or when you need something sweet in a hurry. The combination of tangy pineapple, rich condensed milk, and fluffy whipped cream creates a dessert that’s both light and indulgent. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
500 g (17.6 oz) pineapple (canned or fresh, finely chopped)
380 g (13.4 oz) sweetened condensed milk (one can)
500 ml (16.7 fl oz) heavy cream
50 g (1.8 oz) chocolate (optional, finely chopped or grated)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pineapple
If using canned pineapple:
Drain the pineapple pieces thoroughly to remove excess juice, which could make the dessert too runny. If the pieces aren’t already chopped, finely chop them into small bite-sized pieces.
If using fresh pineapple:
Peel, core, and chop the pineapple into small pieces. Fresh pineapple adds a slightly more intense flavor, but canned works perfectly as well.
2. Whip the Cream
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. This process usually takes about 3-5 minutes on medium-high speed with an electric mixer. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can become grainy if beaten too long.
3. Mix with Condensed Milk
Once the cream is whipped to stiff peaks, gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk using a spatula. Fold carefully to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream, mixing until the ingredients are just combined.
4. Add Pineapple
Fold in the chopped pineapple pieces until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. The pineapple adds a refreshing tartness that balances the sweetness of the condensed milk.
5. Add Chocolate (Optional)
If you’re adding chocolate, fold in the finely chopped or grated chocolate at this stage. The chocolate adds a lovely texture and a hint of richness that complements the creamy dessert.
6. Chill the Dessert
Pour the mixture into a large serving dish or divide it into individual serving cups for a more elegant presentation. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until the dessert is well chilled and slightly firm. Chilling helps the flavors meld together and gives the dessert a more cohesive texture.
7. Serve
Serve the dessert chilled. For an extra touch, garnish with additional chocolate shavings or a piece of pineapple on top. This no-bake dessert is best enjoyed cold, making it a perfect treat for warm days or a quick, sweet finish to any meal.
