Step-by-Step Instructions for Pineapple Ice Cream
- Start by peeling the fresh pineapple, removing the tough outer skin and the hard core. Cut the pineapple into 1-inch chunks.
- Place the pineapple chunks into a blender and blend until smooth, leaving some small pieces for texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended pineapple with heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness as needed by adding more lemon juice or sweetened condensed milk.
- Transfer the ice cream mixture to an airtight container, pressing parchment paper against the surface to prevent ice crystals.
- Freeze the container for at least 4 to 6 hours, or overnight for the best results.
- When ready to serve, let the ice cream soften at room temperature for a few minutes for easier scooping.
Notes
Use ripe pineapple for the sweetest flavor and avoid over-blending to maintain texture.
