Here’s a simple and creamy Pineapple Mousse 🍍🍨 that’s light, fluffy, and easy to make.
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (well drained)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for extra freshness)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Pineapple
- If using fresh pineapple, blend it until smooth or finely crushed.
- If using canned pineapple, drain the juice well.
2. Whip the Cream
- In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
3. Mix the Mousse
- Gently fold the crushed pineapple, vanilla extract, and lemon juice into the whipped cream.
- Mix until smooth and fluffy.
4. Chill
- Spoon the mousse into serving cups or bowls.
- Refrigerate for 2–3 hours to firm up.
5. Serve
- Garnish with pineapple pieces, mint leaves, or a little whipped cream.
✅ Optional Add-Ins
- Crushed biscuits or graham crackers for a layered dessert
- Toasted coconut flakes
- White chocolate chips
⭐ Tip: Make sure the pineapple is well drained; too much juice can make the mousse watery.
If you want, I can also give you a bakery-style pineapple mousse (used in pineapple mousse cakes) that’s thicker and holds its shape perfectly. 🍍🎂
