Q: Can I use canned pineapple juice?
A: Yes, but make sure it’s unsweetened and not from fresh pineapple, as fresh enzymes can prevent the gelatin from setting.Q: What if I don’t have gelatin?
A: You can use agar agar (1½ tsp powder) — it sets even without refrigeration.Q: How long does it last in the fridge?
A: Up to 4 days if kept covered and chilled.Q: Can I make it sweeter without sugar?
A: Yes! Add a few drops of stevia or monk fruit extract before chilling.Q: Can I make layers?
A: Absolutely! Chill the first layer halfway, then pour another flavor (like coconut or mango juice gelatin) on top.
