Pineapple Ice Cream Ingredients
- Heavy whipping cream – Don’t try to substitute this, it needs to be heavy whipping cream to get the perfect ice cream texture.
- Sweetened condensed milk – Make sure you use sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk they are very different!
- Vanilla extract – Real vanilla extract, not imitation.
- Pineapple – Fresh or canned.
How do you make pineapple ice cream (Step-by-step)
⭐ First, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.
⭐ Next, add sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. Whip briefly to incorporate.
⭐ Then, gently fold in the pineapple and pour into a freezer safe dish
⭐ Finally, cover and freeze.
Preparation
Do you need an ice cream maker to make homemade pineapple ice cream?
This recipe is no churn and can be made with just an electric mixer, a bowl, and a freezer! By whipping the heavy cream you get the light fluffy ice cream texture we all know and love.
Can I make this in an ice cream maker?
You can make this recipe with an ice cream maker! If you are making this recipe in an ice cream maker, just skip the whipping step as your ice cream machine will take care of that part for you.
Storage & Leftovers
How long does pineapple ice cream last?
This ice cream recipe will keep in the freezer for about a week, but homemade ice cream is best eaten within 2 or 3 days of preparation.
How do you store homemade ice cream?
Keep the ice cream in a tightly sealed freezer safe container. The less air space in the container, the better. You can press a piece of plastic wrap over the top of the ice cream before closing the container to keep the air exposure to a minimum.
Tips and tricks
🟢 Try playing with the flavor by stirring in some coconut flakes or crushed mango.
🟢 Press a layer of plastic wrap or parchment paper against the ice cream so it will stay fresher longer.
🟢 Put the ice cream in a piping bag with a large tip to swirl it out like soft serve.

This looks wonderful! Gonna make this weekend ,,,,with bananas and (my caramelized pecans). All the split stuff!
Gave this a try yesterday and it was just what I needed to cure my sweet tooth! Quite possibly, my new favorite ice cream; delicious!
Reminds me of being somewhere tropical, which I wish I was! So creamy & love when I get a chunk of pineapple!
I can’t believe how easy this is to make!! Homemade ice cream is so much better than store bought & my kids love to help make it. We are all about the fruity flavors!
Made this with the family and it was a hit!
Could you use cream of coconut instead of sweetened condensed milk? If not , would adding it affect the recipe or how it freezes?
Can you use cool whip instead of heavy whipping cream?
No that would not work as a substitute.
Made this for a camping trip. It was a hit! So easy and so good. My friends said it was every bit as good homemade from an ice cream maker!
This is so much better than sherbert! Easy.
Made as instructed and used my ice cream machine. There wasn’t much pineapple flavor unfortunately, it seemed overpowered by the flavor of sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream. I might try a different flavor. It was a quick no fuss way to make ice cream.
