Servings: 6

Ingredients

Fresh pineapple (1 medium, peeled, cored, and chopped)
Heavy cream (2 cups)
Granulated sugar (3/4 cup)
Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
Salt (a pinch)
Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish (optional))
Fresh pineapple slices (for garnish (optional))

Instructions

Begin by peeling, coring, and chopping the fresh pineapple into small pieces.
Place the chopped pineapple in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, creating a luscious puree.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple puree, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Once the ice cream has reached the desired consistency, transfer it to a lidded container. Freeze for at least 4 hours to allow it to firm up.
Serve the tropical pineapple ice cream in bowls or cones. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh pineapple slices and toasted coconut flakes.
