I had never tasted this dessert made using canned pineapple earlier. But, thanks to my friend Gouri, who introduced this dessert a few years back. At Dhwani’s 3rd birthday party, I made this easy four ingredients creamy pineapple dessert, and it was a big hit with kids and adults. I served this up in mini parfait cups and added some whipped cream and a piece of pineapple on top. Yum! It just requires 4 ingredients, and it is ridiculously easy to whip up this creamy and delicious dessert. It makes a perfect party, potluck, or picnic dessert. This dessert is a keeper!
Ingredients
The ingredients needed for this dessert recipe are pretty simple.
Pineapple - Use a 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple + 20-ounce can of pineapple chunks + their juice as the base of the dessert. I prefer to use the Dole brand. Condensed milk - for sweetening and creaminess. Cool whip - It makes the dessert fluffy and creamy. Homemade whipped cream or whipped topping can be used, if you prefer.
How to Make Easy Pineapple Dessert
In a large mixing bowl, add crushed pineapple, chopped pineapples with juice, condensed milk, cool whip (or whipped cream), and fold everything until well combined. You can also reduce the quantity of Cool Whip according to your preference. For example, I like to use ¾ of 8oz Cool Whip containers. Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Tips & Variations
Feel free to add chopped nuts like pecans, cashews, almonds, or walnuts. You can also make the same dessert by replacing pineapple with canned mandarin oranges or canned peaches. You can also add Instant Pudding (Vanilla flavor) mix to this recipe to make Pineapple Fluff. I do not recommend making this dessert using fresh pineapple.
