Health Benefits of Pineapple
- Pineapples are loaded with Vitamins A, K, Calcium, Phosphorus, and Zinc
- They are rich in disease-fighting antioxidants
- It greatly aids in digestion because it contains bromelain, a digestive enzyme
- Helps ease the symptoms of arthritis
Substitutions
- Dairy-Free Version: Replace heavy cream with coconut cream or coconut milk and use a dairy-free condensed milk substitute. This makes for a delightful pineapple coconut ice cream.
Variations
- Chunky Pineapple: Reserve a few pieces of canned pineapple for a chunky texture in the ice cream mixture.
- Other Fruits: Fold in mango or strawberries for a colorful and flavorful twist.
- Pina Colada Ice Cream: Add a splash of coconut rum or garnish with coconut flakes to create a pina colada-inspired treat.
Storage
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight, freezer-safe container with a lid. For best results, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ice cream mixture to prevent ice crystals from forming. Enjoy within 1-2 weeks for optimal freshness.

- If you are having a family summer party, you can make huge batches and freeze them.
- You can incorporate mini pineapple chunks aside from the crushed pineapple. It adds an interesting texture to every bite.
