Chef’s Tips
- You can substitute 2 cups of finely chopped fresh pineapple for canned pineapple, but I suggest cooking it a bit longer for around 10-15 minutes to soften and break down the fresh fruit.
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10-20 minutes before serving to make scooping easier.
- After adding the pineapple puree to the cream, mix just enough to combine without deflating the cream’s airy texture.
These tips will help you achieve a smooth, flavorful pineapple ice cream every time!
