Ingredients Needed
Like our no churn ice cream recipe, this one requires little ingredients:
- Heavy whipping cream: For a dairy free ice cream, opt for vegan heavy whipping cream.
- Diced or crushed pineapple: Drain the pineapple well to avoid excess water, which helps keep your homemade ice cream creamy instead of icy.
- Cream of Coconut: Not coconut milk, coconut water or coconut cream. Cream of Coconut is thick and sweetened (making it ideal for desserts and cocktails). Coconut milk is unsweetened and creamy (best for cooking and baking). Coconut water is thin, lightly sweet (and meant for drinking rather than recipes). Coconut cream is the closest to Cream of Coconut, but it is unsweetened. And you need sugar for ice cream!
- Toasted coconut flakes: Optional for topping
How to Make No Churn Pineapple Coconut Ice Cream
Step 1 — Whip the cream
Whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3–5 minutes.
Step 2 — Combine
Gently fold in the Cream of Coconut and pineapple chunks until fully incorporated and fluffy.
Step 3 — Freeze
Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan freezer-safe container with a lid and freeze for 8–10 hours, or until firm.
Tips for the Best Pineapple Coconut Ice Cream
- Drain thoroughly since too much liquid can make the texture icy.
- Fold gently to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Freeze overnight for best consistency.
- Store in airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for the best texture.
- For dairy free pineapple ice cream, simply use vegan heavy cream.
Variations to Try
- Add toasted coconut flakes for crunch
- Mix in white chocolate chips for extra sweetness
- Swirl in mango puree for a tropical twist
- Add a splash of rum extract for a piña colada-inspired version
