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.
