Instructions

Prepare the Pineapple Chutney

Puree the chopped pineapple in a blender until completely smooth. No need to add water.
Cook the pineapple puree with the sugar in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a chutney-like consistency. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Make the Ice Cream Base

In a saucepan, gently heat the milk, sweetened condensed milk, and granulated sugar over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Whisk the cornflour with a little cold milk to form a smooth slurry. Gradually add this slurry to the warm milk mixture, whisking constantly.
Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens, coating the back of a spoon. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool completely (about 15-20 minutes).
Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled milk mixture.
Fold in the cooled pineapple chutney until evenly distributed.

Freeze the Ice Cream

Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 7 hours, or until solid. For best results, stir the mixture every 2 hours for the first 4 hours to prevent large ice crystals from forming.

Serve and Enjoy

Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping to achieve the perfect consistency. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Pineapple Ice Cream

For a richer flavor, use ripe, sweet pineapple. You can even roast the pineapple beforehand for enhanced caramelized notes.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute with full-fat coconut milk for a unique twist.
To prevent ice crystals, use an ice cream maker for a smoother, creamier texture. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for optimal results.
Garnish with fresh pineapple chunks, toasted coconut flakes, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra touch of elegance.
