Pineapple jelly malibu shots

[telbert]

I'm helping out with a charity fundraising event next week and I'm toying with the idea of making some of the above, although I've never made anything like this before and in fact, not even sure they are a thing. So the idea is to halve a pineapple, scrape out the flesh, liquidise it(adding more pineapple juice if needed) add malibu and gelatine, pour back into the pineapple halves and allow to set. Once set I would then cut into small slices so it looks like a slice of pineapple and serve.
The idea comes from hearing my daughters harping on about jelly vodka shots for sale in the clubs they visit. So, does this sound doable? How much gelatine should I use? How much malibu to use?(does the alcohol content alter when set?)
All advice welcome please.
Ta.

does the alcohol content alter when set?

No.

But also, in general, no.

Fresh pineapple would probably not set, because it contains an enzyme that renders gelatin powerless to jellify.

Ahhh. So what about pasturised juice or even heating the fresh juice beforehand?

I'm no expert, but the internet seems to think that this will help, by robbing the pineapple of its anti-jellification capability.

Brilliant.
Thanks.

Leaving aside the jellification properties of pineapple, it's a bugger to get the ratio of booze to water to gelatine right to make it set. We had to do a few trial runs when we were students.

Another potential problem there. Can you you remember any of your findings?

I was shitfaced most of the time, sorry.

As I feared.

Never used pineapple in the mix, but I remember having to use two to three times the amount of jelly for the same amount of liquid to get it to set.

Don't worry telbert - if it doesn't set just tell people you've made them a healthy pineapple smoothie.
