Pina Colada Ice Cream Recipe – plus 13 more pina colada recipes

I love summer – I love having my kids home and I love sleeping in (school drop off kills me daily) AND I love making and enjoying ICE CREAM! This is a creamy homemade coconut ice cream with chunks of crushed pineapple added to it for a sweet pina colada treat!

The crazy thing is – I LOVE coconut and I LOVE pina colada but I’ve never liked pineapple – isn’t that weird? And my kids? half LOVE pineapple, half hate it and ONE doesn’t like coconut – that’s just crazy talk! But they all enjoyed this sweet treat!

I love custard based ice creams – I love the creaminess of them – BUT you could easily make an eggless version of this – using this base ice cream recipe and sub out some of the heavy cream for coconut cream and add the toasted coconut and crushed pineapple at the end!

Mmmmm seriously doesn’t get much better or refreshing! also how fun are these pineapple flowers! I’ve always wanted to give them a try – I’ll do a video and post on them pronto!

3. add the eggs and beat until light in color and foamy
4. in a saucepan heat the coconut cream and milk until just starting to steam/bubble
5. pour the hot milk into the eggs in a steady stream while beating (so it doesn't cook and scramble the eggs)
6. pour back into the saucepan and heat, stirring constantly until thickened enough to coat the back of the spoon/spatula
7. take off the heat and strain
8. stir in the vanilla and heavy cream
9. refrigerate until chilled
10. run through your ice cream maker according to the directions
11. scoop half into your ice cream holder/tupperware and sprinkle on half the coconut and pineapple - repeat - then stir as much or as little as you want
12. serve right away for a soft ice cream or freeze for a more traditional ice cream, 3-4 hours
