Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
- 0.5 cup Coconut cream
- 0.5 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Add the fresh lime juice, lime zest, coconut cream, crushed pineapple, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly cold.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (typically 20-25 minutes).
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-4 hours for a firmer texture.
Scoop and serve your Tropical Lime Ice Cream in bowls or cones. Optionally, garnish with lime slices, shredded coconut, or a sprig of mint.
