Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium-sized ripe pineapple
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 teaspoons agar-agar powder
  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup filtered water

Method
 

  1. Slice the fresh pineapple into small chunks and blend until liquid. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer for a smooth puree.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine filtered water and agar-agar powder, whisking until combined. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  3. Heat the agar mixture, bringing to a gentle boil while stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes to activate.
  4. Lower the heat and slowly whisk in coconut milk, sweetener, vanilla, and salt until emulsified.
  5. Gradually add the pineapple puree to the warm mixture, stirring for another 2 minutes.
  6. Pour the mixture into molds or a glass dish, removing any bubbles from the surface.
  7. Allow to cool for 20 minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate for 3-4 hours to set.
  8. Run a knife around the edges of a glass dish or gently pull away from silicone molds to unmold.

Notes

Use fresh pineapple for best results. Agar-agar requires boiling to set properly. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
