Chilled Pineapple Dessert (No Bake Pineapple Fridge Pudding)
This delightful Chilled Pineapple Dessert recipe is made with juicy, crushed pineapple and light, frothy evaporated milk, whipped to velvety, rich smoothness.
Ingredients
- 1 can pineapple pieces in light syrup
- 1 packet pineapple jello
- 1 can evaporated milk chilled
- 5 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 packet crackers crushed
- 5 Tbsp butter melted
- 6 Tbsp toasted coconut optional
- toasted almonds chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Drain the pineapple pieces and reserve the syrup.
- Heat the syrup in a saucepan over medium low heat, and add the jello powder, stirring until dissolved.
- Transfer the heated syrup to a bowl and place in the fridge to cool the jello down, but not to set it.
- In another bowl, whip the chilled evaporated milk until frothy and powdered sugar, continuing until thick and about three times its original volume.
- Fold in the cooled jello and then gently fold in the pineapple pieces.
- Grease an 8-in or 9-in square dish with cold butter.
- Mix the crushed crackers with the melted butter to form a soft crust, and shape the crust in the bottom of the dish.
- Pour in the jello mixture and top with toasted coconut and almonds, if using.
- Chill the pudding in the fridge for at least 4 hours or until firmly set.
