What Makes This Recipe So Good

This dessert is a refreshing treat that's naturally sweet and creamy without any dairy. It's perfect for hot days and suits those with dietary restrictions. Plus, it comes together quickly with just a few simple ingredients.

Expert Cooking Tips

- Use ripe pineapples for the best natural sweetness.
- Chill your mixing bowl and utensils to help the ice cream freeze faster.
- Blend the coconut milk and pineapple thoroughly for a smooth texture.

Step 1

Pop a can of pineapple in the fridge to chill while you get started. Then, spoon the coconut cream into the cups of a silicone muffin pan, spreading it out evenly. Pop the pan in the freezer and let it firm up for about three hours.

Step 2

Once the coconut cream is frozen solid, take the pieces out and toss them into a blender. Add the chilled pineapple along with its juice, some frozen banana slices, vanilla extract, and a bit of honey. Blend everything together until it’s nice and smooth.

Step 3

Spoon the creamy mixture back into the silicone muffin cups and freeze again for another three hours or so. When you’re ready to serve, take the ice cream out a few minutes early to let it soften just enough to easily pop out of the cups. If you’re serving it in a bowl, a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top makes a lovely finishing touch.

Serving Inspiration

Serve this ice cream in bowls topped with toasted coconut flakes or fresh pineapple chunks. It also pairs well with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added crunch.

Food Storage Tips

Keep the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain its freshness. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
