Note

For best results, use ripe bananas to ensure they mash smoothly and add sufficient sweetness.

Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to prevent the gelatin from becoming too watery.

This salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Cover tightly with plastic wrap while chilling.

To unmold, run a knife around the edges and dip the bowl briefly in warm water.
