Hawaii Five-O Delicious Ice Cream

Ingredients 0/5

Step 1

Drain the pineapple in a fine-mesh strainer, saving about a cup of the syrup and popping it in the fridge for later. Next, toss the pineapple, heavy cream, and half a cup of brown sugar into a blender and blend until everything’s smooth—this should take about 20 seconds. Pour the mixture into a container with a lid and chill it in the fridge for a couple of hours.

Step 2

While the pineapple mixture chills, heat up a large skillet over medium-high and add the cubed luncheon meat. Cook it for about 10 minutes, turning the pieces every couple of minutes so they get nicely browned all around. Once browned, stir in the reserved pineapple syrup and two tablespoons of brown sugar. Keep cooking until the sauce thickens and bubbles, which should take around five minutes. Then, take the skillet off the heat and let it cool down.

Step 3

When the meat caramel is cooling, pour the cold pineapple cream into your ice cream maker and churn it following the machine’s instructions—usually about 20 minutes. Add the dragon fruit during the last five minutes of churning to mix it in gently.

Step 4

Finally, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, gently fold in the cooled meat caramel, and freeze it for about four hours or until it’s firm. Enjoy your tropical treat!
