Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups coconut milk
  • 1 ¾ cups coconut cream + ¼ cup for processing
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon cream of coconut
  • Beans from 1 vanilla bean pod
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon Jamaican white rum
Pineapple Coulis
  • 2 slices fresh pineapple
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ cup water

Equipment

  • Loaf Pan
  • Spatula
  • Saucepan small
  • Blender or immersion blender
  • Food processor
  • Mixing bowl large
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Cling film 

Method
 

  1. Combine coconut milk, coconut cream, sugar, vanilla, salt and white rum. Mix well to dissolve sugar and incorporate all ingredients well.
  2. Pour cream into a frozen loaf pan and freeze overnight until properly set.
  3. The next day, cut pineapple into 1 inch pieces. Cook pineapples in a small saucepan over high heat with sugar and water until the water reduces and becomes syrupy, about 5 minutes.
  4. Blend half of the pineapple mixture and add it to the other half of the pineapple pieces in the saucepan. Cook on low heat until thick, about 2 mins. Set aside until fully cooled.
  5. Remove frozen cream from the freezer. Cut through the cream with a sharp knife and remove from the loaf pan with a spoon. Add all frozen pieces to the food processor along with the reserved ¼ cup of coconut cream. Blend until smooth but not runny, about 1 minute.
  6. Add half of the blended cream back to the loaf pan. Spoon in half of the pineapple mixture and use the tip of a knife to swirl the coulis into the cream. Top with the remaining half of cream. Spoon the remaining coulis on top and swirl with the tip of a knife.
  7. Set the ice cream back into the freezer to set for at least 4 hours. Remove from the fridge about 10 minutes before serving so the ice cream is easier to scoop. Enjoy!
