- 2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 can coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- shredded coconut flakes (optional)
- Blend ingredients
In a blender or food processor, add the pineapple chunks, coconut milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- (if using an ice cream maker)
If using an ice cream maker: Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- (if not using an ice cream maker)
If not using an ice cream maker: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours, remove the container and vigorously stir the mixture with a fork to break up any ice crystals. This helps create a smooth texture.
- Freeze
After the desired consistency is achieved, cover the container with a lid and let the ice cream freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up.
- Serve
When ready to serve, scoop the pineapple coconut ice cream into bowls or cones. Optionally, garnish with shredded coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy the refreshing taste of homemade pineapple coconut ice cream with family and friends. Remember to store any leftovers in the freezer.

Note: For a creamier texture, you can add 1 tablespoon of vodka or rum to the mixture before freezing, as alcohol helps prevent the ice cream from freezing too hard.
