Pro chef tips

Chill your bowl: If you chill your mixing bowl before whipping the cream, it will whip faster and achieve better volume.
Use fresh pineapples: Opt for fresh pineapple when possible for an even brighter flavor.
Don’t overmix: When folding the whipped cream into the Jell-O mixture, be gentle. Overmixing can deflate the cream and make the dessert less fluffy.
