Recipe Tips 

    • Chill bowl and beaters for fluffiest whipped cream.
    • Whip to very stiff peaks for the creamiest texture.
    • Drain pineapple thoroughly to avoid iciness.
    • Cover tightly to prevent freezer burn.
    • Dip scoop in warm water for perfect rounds.

Notes

  • This pineapple ice cream recipe is definitely beginner level.
  • The hardest part is the actual whipping of the cream. You want the cream to come to a soft peak.
  • Soft peak is when the cream is whipped and air is incorporated throughout but it does not stand up like a traditional whipped cream, which would be the stiff peak stage.
  • While whipping the cream, just whip it until a light ribbon pattern is shown through the cream, it should not hold its shape but slightly droop back into the bowl.
  • Ensure that you drain the pineapple thoroughly to avoid having too much liquid in the ice cream and causing it to be icy.
