Pineapple Mousse (leftover whipped cream)

Eggless Pineapple Mousse
Mousse is light, fluffy mass prepared using whipped cream and eggs....but today I am sharing an eggless mousse recipe with leftover whipped cream. Mousse can be prepared sweet as well as savoury. 

Last week I prepared an eggless cake with pineapple frosting and as usual my whipped cream is leftover....it was not enough to make an ice-cream, so I decided to make a Pineapple Mousse.
In an eggless mousse recipe we need to add veg gelatin / agar agar / white chocolate.... so that it sets well....but I omitted it and added condensed milk.

Ingredients:
Leftover whipped cream - 1 cup
(pineapple flavoured)
Canned pineapples - 1/2 cup (chopped)
Condensed milk - 1 tablespoon
Cherries for garnishing (optional)

Method:
# Add canned pineapples, condensed milk in whipped cream.

# Fold it well.

# Fill them in serving jars.
# Garnish with cherries.

# Refrigerate for 4-5 hrs.
Pineapple Mousse is ready to serve.
