Ingredients

  • 235 g heavy cream 1 cup
  • 175 g full-fat coconut milk ¾ cup
  • 100 g granulated sugar ½ cup
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 45 g coconut rum 3 tbsp
  • ½ cup roasted pineapple diced and cooled
  • ¼ cup sweetened shredded coconut toasted and cooled
  • 4.5 g vanilla extract 1 tsp
  • 1.5 g fine salt ¼ tsp

Instructions

  • Confirm bowl frozen 24+ hours. Roast pineapple and toast coconut. Cool fully.
  • Heat cream, coconut milk, and salt until steaming.
  • Whisk yolks and sugar. Temper in two additions. Cook to 170–175°F.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in rum and vanilla. Strain and chill 4 hours.
  • Start machine. Pour base through spout. Churn 20–25 minutes.
  • Add pineapple and coconut through spout in final 2 minutes.
  • Freeze 3–4 hours until firm.

Notes

Frozen bowl: 24+ hours. Coconut rum is typically only 42 proof, so 3 tbsp is fine. Roasting the pineapple concentrates its sweetness and reduces moisture — raw pineapple will make the ice cream icy. Toast the coconut separately and cool it completely before adding through the spout. Dice pineapple small enough to fit through the spout opening.
