Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Canned coconut milk
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 300 grams Fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Rum (optional, for authentic flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine the pineapple chunks, coconut milk, lime juice, and rum (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved (do not let it boil). This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the blended pineapple-coconut mixture, along with the vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly cold.
Once the mixture has chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it reaches a scoopable consistency.
When ready to serve, optionally sprinkle shredded coconut on top for garnish. Enjoy your homemade Pina Colada Ice Cream!
