Ingredients
1 box pineapple-flavored gelatin
2 boxes strawberry-flavored gelatin
2 cups boiling water
2 cups chilled Coca-Cola
1 can light table cream (drained)
2 boxes strawberry-flavored gelatin
2 cups boiling water
2 cups chilled Coca-Cola
1 can light table cream (drained)
Where to find ingredients
You can find gelatin boxes and table cream in the baking or international foods aisle of most local supermarkets like Loblaws, Sobeys, or Metro. For the 'creme de leite,' if you cannot find the Brazilian-style canned table cream, you may use a high-quality heavy cream as a substitute, though the texture will be slightly richer.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the pineapple gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water and set it aside.
- Dissolve both boxes of strawberry gelatin together in 1 cup of boiling water and set aside.
- Add the light table cream, the prepared pineapple gelatin, and the chilled Coca-Cola into a blender.
- Blend all the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform.
- Pour the mixture into a mold—lightly rinsed with cold water beforehand to make unmolding easier—or divide it into individual dessert bowls.
- Refrigerate for approximately 3 hours, or until the mousse is firm and well-set.
- If using a mold, carefully unmold before serving, and decorate as desired.
