Pineapple Ice Cream

This homemade pineapple ice cream is inspired by Disney’s soft serve dole whip. Fresh or canned pineapple is folded into a custard base and frozen in an ice cream maker. It brings just a hint of tropical flavor to your favorite frozen dessert!

Ingredients

  • 1 fresh pineapple
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1¾ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Cut and core your pineapple into chunks. Pulse in a blender or food processor until finely diced. Reserve 1 cup of the fruit with liquid. Save the remainder for smoothies or as a topping for later. 
  • Stir together your milk and sugar in a medium sized pot. Bring to a simmer and cook to 175 degrees or until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Whisk your eggs together in a small bowl. Slowly stir in a portion of your milk mixture, making sure to whisk constantly. Slowly mix the eggs back into the pot with the remaining milk and sugar. 
  • Bring to a simmer and cook until 160 degrees or the custard coats the back of a spoon.
  • Remove your pan from the heat. Place in an ice bath and stir until slightly cooled. 
  • Stir in the cream and 1 cup of your pineapple. Cover and chill 4 hours or overnight. 
  • Freeze according to the directions of your ice cream maker.
