Homemade Pineapple Soft Ice Cream

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pineapple Puree

• In a blender or food processor, puree the chopped pineapple until smooth.
• Strain the pineapple puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any fibrous bits. Discard the solids.
• Transfer the strained pineapple puree to a bowl and set aside.

2. Make the Ice Cream Base

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
• If desired, add lemon juice and granulated sugar to adjust the sweetness and acidity of the ice cream base, depending on the pineapple’s natural flavor.

3. Combine and Chill

• Gently fold the strained pineapple puree into the ice cream base until evenly incorporated.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill thoroughly.

4. Churn the Ice Cream

• Once chilled, pour the pineapple ice cream mixture into the bowl of an ice cream maker.
• Churn the mixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

5. Freeze and Serve

• Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.
• Cover the container with a lid and freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours or until firm.
• When ready to serve, scoop the homemade pineapple soft ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the tropical bliss!
