Note

For best results, ensure the milk mixture does not boil, as high heat can break down the gelatin and prevent it from setting properly.

This sauce is best served chilled. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the blended fruit mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before combining it with the milk mixture.

Adjust the amount of NutraSweet to your taste preference, keeping in mind that the pineapple and strawberries provide natural sweetness.
