In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Add the pineapple juice, coconut cream, and vanilla extract to the mixture and whisk until well combined. Ensure the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 20-25 minutes) until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the chopped macadamia nuts and fresh pineapple (if using) to the ice cream maker to evenly incorporate the mix-ins.
Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap.
Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm and scoopable.
Serve scoops of the Hawaiian Ice Cream in bowls or waffle cones, and enjoy a tropical escape in every bite!
