Prepare the Gelatin:
Place the gelatin in a small bowl and cover it with cold water. Let it soak for 20 minutes to allow it to become soft and pliable.
Prepare the Fruit:
Drain the canned pineapple thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Slice the banana into thin rounds or small pieces.
Dissolve the Gelatin:
After the gelatin has soaked, heat it gently either in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until fully dissolved. Ensure it does not boil as this can affect its setting properties.
Mix Yogurt and Sugar:
In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt with sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Combine Ingredients:
Add the dissolved gelatin to the yogurt mixture. Stir well to ensure that the gelatin is evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.

Add Fruit:
Gently fold the drained pineapple and sliced banana into the yogurt mixture. Be careful not to overmix to avoid breaking up the fruit too much.
Chill the Dessert:
Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until the dessert is fully set and chilled.
Serve:
Once the dessert has set, it is ready to be served. You can garnish with additional fruit or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
Tips for Making:
Gelatin Preparation: Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to prevent any lumps. If using gelatin powder, follow the package instructions for the correct method of preparation.
Yogurt Choice: Using full-fat or Greek yogurt will give the dessert a richer, creamier texture. If using non-dairy yogurt, check if it has a similar consistency to achieve the best result.

Sweetness Adjustment: Taste the yogurt mixture before adding the gelatin to adjust the sweetness. If the pineapple is particularly sweet, you might want to reduce the sugar.
Variations:
Fruit Variations: Experiment with other fruits such as mango, berries, or peaches. Just ensure that any fresh fruit is well-drained and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Flavor Additions: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the yogurt mixture for additional flavor complexity.
Dairy-Free Version: Use coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt as a substitute for a dairy-free version of this dessert.
