Ingredients
1 (2 pound) pineapple, halved
3/8 cup plus 1 tablespoon cold water
2 limes, juiced
1/4 cup Kirsch
3 drops green food coloring
1/4 cup heavy cream, whipped
1/4-ounce packet of gelatin
1 banana, peeled and quartered lengthwise
1/8 cup flaked almonds
1 egg white
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 cup coconut flakes
Directions
- Scoop out pineapple flesh and freeze shells. Discard core. Blend flesh with 1/4 cup water. Pour into saucepan and cook over medium heat. Add lime juice and bring to boil. Boil for 2 minutes.
- Combine gelatin and 1 tablespoon water. Dissolve this in pot with remaining water, over low heat. Add Kirsch and food coloring. Add to pineapple mixture and chill.
- Once cooled, beat in whipped cream. Chill again.
- Place two banana pieces in each pineapple shell. Sprinkle with almonds. Pour chilled mousse mixture over them. Place in refrigerator to set.
