Note

Ensure the pineapple juice is reserved before draining the fruit, as it is essential for dissolving the gelatin properly.

Use boiling water to activate the gelatin effectively; let it cool slightly if your blender is not heat-resistant, though most handle this fine.

For a richer flavor, you can substitute the powdered milk with a small amount of condensed milk, reducing the sweetener accordingly.

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. The texture may become slightly firmer as it ages.
