is it necessary to put pineapple juice in the gelatin base?

Not necessarily, especially if you want to have that natural cream flavor. But in our recipe, we preferred to add pineapple juice to have a fruity flavor in it.

You can use any type of mold or baking dish to assemble the gelatin. We just used the tradional looking mold because it because it is the standard mold used in this type of recipe and is more appealing in the eyes.

Tips on Cooking this recipe

  • Gelatin hardens very fast once out of the heat, so you have to place them in the molds quickly.
  • In cooking gelatins, make sure to pour the gelatin powders while the water is not that hot or boiling to prevent them from creating lumps.
  • Make sure to let the gelatin cool before covering them and refrigerating it to prevent having water puddles on it from the steam.
