How to Make Pineapple Snow

  1. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, combine 2 cups crushed pineapple (fresh or canned, drained), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Heat the pineapple mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
  5. Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate until it begins to thicken but is not fully set (about 2-3 hours).
  6. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled pineapple mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour the mixture into a lightly oiled or sprayed 1.5-quart mold (or individual serving dishes).
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to fully set.
  10. To unmold, dip the mold briefly in warm water and invert onto a serving platter.
