Indulge in the Sweetness: Caramelized Pineapple Ice Cream Recipe

Exploring New Flavors: Caramelized Pineapple Ice Cream

Today, I’m excited to share a unique dessert recipe that combines the sweetness of caramelized pineapple with the creaminess of homemade ice cream. This dish is perfect for a summer treat or as a refreshing end to a meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 pineapple, peeled and sliced (about 800g)
• 200g sugar
• 500ml heavy cream
• 250ml whole milk
• 6 egg yolks

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• ice cream maker

To start, we’ll caramelize the pineapple slices by cooking them with sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until they turn golden brown and sticky. This process will enhance the natural sweetness of the fruit and add a rich flavor to the ice cream.

Next, we’ll combine the heavy cream and whole milk in a saucepan and heat the mixture until it’s warm but not boiling. Separately, whisk the egg yolks in a mixing bowl until they become smooth and pale in color. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Once the cream mixture is combined with the egg yolks, return it to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly. This custard base will give our ice cream a smooth and creamy texture.

After the custard has cooled, we’ll churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. During the last few minutes of churning, add in the caramelized pineapple pieces to create a ripple effect in the ice cream.

Serving and Enjoying:

This Caramelized Pineapple Ice Cream recipe yields approximately 1200g of ice cream, enough for about 8 servings. Each serving is around 150g and contains approximately 300 calories.

One clever tip for making this dessert even more delightful is to sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes on top before serving. The added crunch and tropical flavor will take this dish to the next level.

I encourage you to give this unique dessert a try and experiment with different fruits and flavors to make it your own. Enjoy the process of creating something new and delicious in your kitchen!
