Hi this is an awesome blog and this recipe looks and sounds delish! Question, however…. what do you mean when you say “Fold in the gelatin mix into the pureed pineapple coconut mix.

Beat the chilled cream till it forms soft peaks. Fold it in the above mixture”

Dont quite understand what you mean by folding. Would love to make this for thanksgiving so hope to see a reply from you soon! =)

Here is what “Fold” would mean.. “Folding” is combining one ingredient with another, very lightly to avoid loss of air. The motion consists of cutting vertically through the mixture and sliding across the bottom of the bowl and up the side and then turning over. Repeat until ingredients are mixed.

Folding is usually used for “whipped” ingredients such as egg whites and cream. The “whipping” add air to the ingredient making it light and fluffy, and in the case of egg whites also makes the cake/mousse etc. rise, acting like a leavening agent (e.g. baking powder).” ….. with a spoon, gently scoop out some of the part from the bottom of the container and place it on the top… don’t stir… continue doing this till all is well combined. here is a video for “Folding” :

Beat the Cream with a spoon(will take some time) or with an electric beater till you see the soft peaks on the surface of the cream. Fold in the cream (like explained above) with the pineapple gelatin mix. Again don’t stir.. it needs to keep the fluff of the cream.
