Begin by preparing the pineapple: remove the skin and core, then cut the pineapple into small chunks.
Place the pineapple chunks in a blender and blend until smooth to create a puree. Measure out 300 ml of pineapple puree for the recipe.
In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple puree, sugar, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved completely, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool.
In another saucepan, mix the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat over medium heat until bubbles form around the edges, but do not allow it to boil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they become creamy and pale in color.
Gradually pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to avoid curdling.
Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. Be careful not to let it boil.
Strain the custard through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps.
Stir in the prepared pineapple mixture and vanilla extract into the custard base until well combined.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap directly on its surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturerβs instructions.
Transfer the churned ice cream into a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Before serving, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop the ananas ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
