Ingredients

Ice cream Mixture

1 cup (240 ml) Heavy cream (35% fat content)
1 ½ cup (360 ml) Full-fat milk
2 tablespoon (40 grams) clear runny honey
⅔ cup (130 grams) sugar
2 tablespoon (18 grams) cornstarch
17oz (500 grams) Fresh pineapple chunks (it's a medium-sized pineapple)

Instructions

Important: Remember to put the ice cream maker bowl in the freezer for at least 16 hours, although some models (like Cuisinart) requires 24 hours. Check the manufacturer's instructions.
Make the ice cream mixture: Add the milk, cream, and honey to a large saucepan, and heat gently until barely simmering (no boil!). Stir sugar and cornstarch together in a bowl, add them to the saucepan, and whisk the mixture for about 3 minutes over very low heat. Remove from the stove, let it cool, then refrigerate until cold.
Peel and cut the pineapple: Using a sharp knife and a chopping board, cut off the green leafy top and the bottom of the pineapple. Cut it into quarters, remove the core and skin, then cut each quarter into chunks.
Blend pineapple and ice cream base: When the ice cream base is fridge-cold, add it to a highspeed blender or food processor, add the pineapple chunks and blend until smooth.
Churn: Once the ingredients and the ice cream maker bowl are cold, turn the machine on and add slowly the ice cream mixture. Make sure you follow the manufacturer's directions.
Serve: When the pineapple ice cream is ready, you can enjoy it immediately when it's still soft, or you can smooth it into a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least a few hours before enjoying it. Serve with fresh mint leaves or top with fresh raspberries for a pop of color. Enjoy!
