This creamy, tropical, and refreshing Pineapple Ice Cream is made with real pineapple, heavy cream, and egg yolks for a deliciously scoopable summer flavor that is perfect for ice cream enthusiasts. It’s an ideal treat for hot summer days when you want a taste of paradise in a bowl or on a cone.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar 150g
- 16 ounces pineapple crushed
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk 360ml
- 4 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
Instructions
- Whisk sugar, pineapple, lemon juice, and salt in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until most of the sugar has dissolved.
- Stir in cream and milk. Continue to cook until hot but not yet simmering.
- Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks in a medium bowl.
- Add 1 cup of hot pineapple liquid to the egg yolks. Whisk well.
- Return tempered egg yolk mixture to the saucepan with the rest of the pineapple and cream.
- Continue to cook and stir for 3-4 minutes until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon or it reaches 170°F on a digital thermometer.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Cool completely.
- Cover with plastic wrap. Chill thoroughly in the fridge before churning according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours until hardened. Let the ice cream sit on the counter for 10-20 minutes to warm up slightly for easier scooping.
