I don't know what to call this , pineapple and cream or pineapple mousse. As far as i know mousse is mostly made out of raw eggs, where the egg white is beaten stiff and mixed into the cream and all, but to tell you the truth, I am just not comfortable handling raw eggs, i can eat chocolate mousse and pineapple mousse at restaurants , but i just don't trust myself with raw eggs.So I am settling with gelatin.

ReplyDeletePlease ca you tell me what can we substitute for gelatin
ReplyDeletehi you can use agar agar or china grass instead of gelatine (vegetarian substitute) agar is dissolved in the liquid in a saucepan over medium heat, brought to a boil and simmer for five minutes and cool slighty and add to the cream.
