Pineapple Coconut Ice Cream Recipe
Pineapple coconut ice cream has to be one of my all time favorites.
After eating the store bought version once, I knew I had to try to make it myself…especially when I couldn’t find it in the store anymore!
I love the Pina Colada – pineapple and coconut flavors blended together and if this is one of your favorite combos too – you just have to try this recipe. You will be craving more!
Close your eyes and you’ll be sure to see palm trees swaying in the background!
What Type of Coconut Milk Should I Use?
When buying coconut milk for ice cream, what type of coconut milk should you buy?
The smoothness and creaminess of ice cream is largely dependent on the fat content of its ingredients.
The reason slushies are more icy is that the ingredients used to make this beverage are water based.
So when making a coconut ice cream, if you want to have a smoother, more creamy ice cream, you should choose the full fat varieties.
If you use the reduced fat varieties, your ice cream will turn out harder and more icy.
Serving Tip
Serve with fresh pineapple and curls of fresh coconut.
You can even serve out of a hollowed out coconut.
