- 115 g Caster Sugar
- 300 ml Double Cream (heavy cream)

Serving Suggestions
Pineapple ice cream can be served in a variety of delicious ways.
It pairs wonderfully with a slice of freshly grilled pineapple for a tropical twist.
For a refreshing dessert, consider serving it in a hollowed-out pineapple shell for a fun and festive presentation.
You can also create a tropical sundae by topping the pineapple ice cream with coconut flakes, chopped macadamia nuts, and a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce.
For a simple yet elegant option, serve scoops of pineapple ice cream alongside a slice of coconut cake or a warm slice of pineapple upside-down cake for a delightful flavour combination.
How long does pineapple Ice Cream Keep For?
Pineapple ice cream can typically be kept in the freezer for up to 2-3 months if stored in an airtight container.
It’s important to ensure that the container is well-sealed to prevent ice crystals from forming and affecting the texture and flavour of the ice cream.
Always check for any signs of freezer burn or off-flavours before consuming the ice cream if it has been stored for an extended period.
