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.
