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