Instructions

Prepare the Pineapple Puree

Blend the chopped pineapple until completely smooth. No need to add water.

Cook the Pineapple Mixture

In a saucepan, combine the pineapple puree and 1/2 cup sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a chutney-like consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Make the Ice Cream Base

In a separate saucepan, combine the milk, sweetened condensed milk, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Thicken the Base

Whisk the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of milk) into the warm milk mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat.

Combine and Chill

Stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool completely (at least 15-20 minutes).
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled milk mixture.
Gently fold in the cooled pineapple mixture until everything is evenly combined.

Freeze the Ice Cream

Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 4 hours, stirring every hour to prevent ice crystals from forming. After 4 hours, the ice cream should be mostly frozen but still slightly soft. You can then transfer it to a smaller container for better portioning.
Freeze overnight or until completely solid before serving.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Pineapple Ice Cream

For the best flavor, use ripe, sweet pineapple. Taste the pineapple before using and adjust the amount of sugar in the puree based on its sweetness.
Don't skip the step of stirring the ice cream during freezing. This will create a smoother texture and prevent large ice crystals.
If your pineapple puree is too thin, you can simmer it for a longer time to achieve the desired consistency.
For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of ground nutmeg or cinnamon to the ice cream base.
