Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh pineapple, diced
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, finely grated
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced pineapple, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the pineapple softens and the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pineapple mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, blend it into a smooth puree using a blender or food processor.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, remaining maple syrup, sugar, grated ginger, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
Stir in the pineapple puree until well-combined.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill thoroughly.
Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Churn until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Scoop the Maple Ginger Pineapple Ice Cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
