🛒 Ingredients (4 Only)
1 can (400 g / 14 oz) pineapple, crushed or small chunks, well drained
1 can (395 g / 14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy cream (whipping cream)
200 g (7 oz) cream cheese, softened at room temperature
🥣 Equipment
Mixing bowl
Hand mixer or whisk
Spatula
Serving dish or dessert cups
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Pineapple
Drain the pineapple very well. Press it gently with a spoon to remove excess liquid. 👉 This step is important to keep the dessert thick and creamy.
2️⃣ Cream the Cheese
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until completely smooth and lump-free. Take your time here—this is the base of the dessert’s silky texture.
3️⃣ Add the Condensed Milk
Pour in the sweetened condensed milk gradually while mixing. Beat until the mixture becomes glossy, smooth, and creamy.
4️⃣ Whip the Cream In
Add the cold heavy cream and beat until the mixture thickens and becomes light and fluffy. You’ll notice it turning into a soft, mousse-like consistency.
5️⃣ Fold in the Pineapple
Using a spatula, gently fold in the drained pineapple. Mix slowly to keep the dessert airy.
6️⃣ Chill
Transfer to a serving dish or individual cups. Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to fully set and chill.
❄️ Texture & Taste
Texture: creamy, soft, and spoonable (like a light cheesecake mousse)

🌿 Tips for Perfect Results
✔ Always drain pineapple well
✔ Use cold cream for best thickness
✔ If using fresh pineapple, cook it for 5 minutes, cool completely, then use (fresh pineapple prevents setting)
