Cold dessert shopping list

Canceled pineapple provides this dessert's fruity flavor. You'll need condensed milk, yogurt, and cream for the creamy layer. The base is made from biscuits and butter. You also need agar-agar or gelatin. Even during the season for fresh fruits, it's worth gathering these ingredients and making this dessert. It's fluffy and creamy, and the pineapple adds a touch of sweetness.

Only three ingredients

When you prepare this dessert, expect questions about the creamy layer. It’s delicious and light. This results from combining three types of dairy products – yogurt, cream, and condensed milk. Condensed milk, often used in baked goods, is thick and enhances the flavor. It is created by evaporating water from whole milk. You can use sweetened or unsweetened condensed milk for this dessert, depending on your preference.
