Notes
Notes:
Make sure you use Gelatin and not Jello.Gelatine is different from Jello. Gelatin (also gelatine, from French gélatine) is a translucent, colourless,tasteline substance which is mostly used for setting dessets. You can look for this in the same aisle as your Jello in your favourite grocery store
Keep the cans of evaporated milk 1 hr in the freezer prior to making this pudding so that the milk gets a little solid and is not too watery. Do not use condensed milk for this recipe
Each Knoxx gelatin package contains 4 packets of gelatin. Use 3 of those packets for this recipe.

Hi Maryann,
I am planning to prepare this for a party. Can you please clarify that you have used 2 twenty ounce can of crushed pineapple for 2 twelve ounce can of evaporated milk with 2 cups of sugar & 3 packets of gelatin. Is my understanding correct ?
maryam,
DElicious dessert. Thanks for this idea. During parties I always have difficulty in deciding what dessert to make. you gave me an idea. Easy, simple and tasty.
Thank you, Abhimuthu
Good one Marya, a warm welcome to you. Quickly whipped up dessert and sounds delicious, thanks for sharing this in our website.
Thank You, Mullai.. This is one of the first recipes I have posted but i have been a silent spectator of this website for quite sometime.. Hats off to you for hosting such a good one for all food lovers…
Hi can I use any canned fruit for this recipe if so can u tell me the can size.Thanks
Yes, indeed you can use any type of canned fruit. I have used a 20 oz can of crushed pineapple. Just make sure you drain all the juice completely from the fruit.
Hi Abigail,
Another quick tip.. i would not suggest you to use Fruit cocktial as sometimes it has papaya and it might spoil the taste of the pudding. Peaches are a good bet.. Make sure you either cube them or slightly blend them b4 using them in the recipe…Make sure you strain the juice b4 doing this…
Hope it comes out well.
