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