How to Make Light Pineapple Mousse

  1. Refrigerate the evaporated milk (1 can, 13.5 oz) for at least 30 minutes to make it as cold as possible.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice (1/2 cup), water (1/4 cup), and unflavored gelatin (1 packet, 1 tbsp).
  3. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir well, and let cool completely. (Approximately 5-10 minutes)
  4. Pour the chilled evaporated milk into a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  5. Add cream cheese (4 oz, softened) and continue beating until smooth and creamy.
  6. Gradually add the cooled pineapple gelatin mixture, beating constantly until the mixture is very thick and well combined.
  7. Gently fold in the drained, chopped pineapple (1 cup).
  8. Divide the mousse into 4 individual serving dishes. Refrigerate for at least 1.5-2 hours, or until set.
