Ingredients

400 g			        	Crushed Pineapple
1 tsp			        	Gelatine Powder, unflavoured
2 tbsp				Lemon Juice 
2 tbsp				Sugar Substitute
2/3 cup				Dry Milk Powder; non-fat
1/2 cup				Ice-cold Water	

Method

You can buy canned pineapples. Drain the pineapples and keep the juice. Sprinkle gelatine powder into 1/2 portion of the pineapple juice. Cook this mixture over very low heat until gelatine has dissolved. Turn off heat. Add in remaining pineapple juice gradually. Stir gently and add in lemon juice, crushed pineapple and sugar substitute. Allow to cool.

Meanwhile, beat milk powder with 1/2 cup of ice water at high speed until stiff peaks form. Stir in the cooled gelatine mixture until well-blended. Pour into desired glasses or bowls and freeze sherbet for at least 4 hours. The sherbet is ready to be served when it is firm.
