Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh pineapple chunks
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Rum (optional, for soaking raisins)
Instructions
If using rum, soak the raisins in the rum for at least 30 minutes to plump them up. If you prefer not to use alcohol, soak the raisins in warm water instead.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved. This forms the base of your ice cream.
In a food processor or blender, puree the pineapple chunks until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse until there are small pieces of pineapple remaining.
Fold the pineapple puree into the cream mixture. Stir until well combined.
Drain the soaked raisins and gently fold them into the mixture, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically takes 15-20 minutes.
Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade pineapple raisin ice cream!
