Dessert Recipe by Shripriya Ramakrishnan for Party Menu -1 Pineapple is the favorite fruit for many. We get crushed pineapples in cans here. Take a large bowl, put one can (one can will be about one and a half cups) of crushed pineapple, mix one small tin of condensed milk, and 2-3 cups of cool whip or whipped cream. Mix them well, taste it, if it is too sweet for you then add some more crushed pineapple and cream. Decorate this with cut strawberries and blueberries. Refrigirate and cool it well before serving. This is a easy-to-make, awesome, creamy and yummy desert. We get condensed milk and cool whip in fat-free here so I always use that.
