Best Ever Pineapple Cream image

Do not use fresh pineapple to make ice cream. A naturally occurring enzyme can curdle the milk. With canned pineapple, the canning process neutralizes the enzyme so it works fine.

Time 1h15m

Yield 5 cups, about

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) can unsweetened pineapple chunks, drained
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
3 large egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Add the pineapple chunks and salt into a food processor; process until smooth, about 1 minute; set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, mix the sugar and milk together.
  • Place pan over low heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the milk comes to a boil.
  • Beat the hot milk into the egg yolks in a bowl.
  • Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and place over low heat.
  • Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until the custard thickens slightly (don't let the mixture boil or the eggs will scramble).
  • Remove pan from heat and pour the hot custard through a strainer into a large clean bowl.
  • Allow the custard to cool slightly, then stir in the pineapple puree, cream, and vanilla.
  • Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight.
  • Stir the chilled custard; then freeze in 1-2 batches in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
  • When finished, the ice cream will be soft but ready to eat.
  • For firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze several hours.
