Directions
- 1
Peel and dice the pineapple into small cubes. In a saucepan, simmer the pineapple with the sugar and lime juice over medium heat for about 15 minutes until lightly caramelized. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
- 2
Prepare the gelatin according to the package directions, using slightly less cold water than indicated for a firmer set. Let it cool to lukewarm.
- 3
In a blender, combine the condensed milk, cream, coconut milk, and half of the caramelized pineapple. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- 4
Add the lukewarm gelatin to the blender and blend for an additional 30 seconds until fully incorporated.
- 5
Arrange the remaining pineapple pieces in the bottom of a lightly greased flan mold to create a natural, colorful decoration.
- 6
Gently pour the creamy mixture over the pineapple. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
💡 Chef's Tip
To unmold cleanly, briefly dip the bottom of the mold in hot water for a few seconds before flipping onto a serving plate. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or toasted coconut flakes for an extra tropical touch.
