Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) fresh pineapple
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice a fresh pineapple to yield two cups of diced fruit.
Place the pineapple and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and lemon juice. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the pineapple puree to the cream mixture and whisk until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Once churned, transfer the soft ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for 2-4 hours, or until it reaches your desired firmness.
Scoop and serve the pineapple ice cream in bowls or cones. Optionally, garnish with a slice of pineapple or a sprig of mint for presentation.
