Tips for pina colada ice cream
- PineappleI use tinned pineapple for the pineapple and coconut ice cream recipe and not fresh pineapple. The simple reason for this is that pineapple contains an enzyme (bromelain) that makes milk taste bitter over time. With fresh pineapple, our ice cream would become bitter over time. The enzyme is inactivated at temperatures above 50°C. Canned pineapple is heat-treated and therefore does not have this problem. If you want to use fresh pineapple, you would also have to blanch it first or add it to the ice cream mixture just before or during the freezing process. However, I have not yet tried the latter and cannot guarantee that there will be enough time for the ice cream to set.
- Coconut milkMake sure you use a high-quality coconut milk that contains at least 90% coconut. This will bring out the flavor and prevent the ice cream from becoming too watery.
- Rum flavorPina Colada tastes classically of rum. To get this flavor into the ice cream, it is best to use brown rum (e.g. BUMBU The Original Rum from € 32.37 (€ 46.24 / l))* . However, if you want to make it a little lighter, you can also use white rum (e.g. BACARDÍ Carta Blanca White Rum from € 12.89 (€ 18.41 / l))* . If you don't like rum flavoring, but still don't want to do without the freeze-inhibiting effect of alcohol, you can also add a dash of coconut liqueur (e.g. Mangaroca Batida de Côco (1 x 1 l from € 12.50 (€ 12.50 / l))* add during the freezing process. For a non-alcoholic version, you can omit the rum or replace it with a few drops of rum flavoring (e.g. Jamaica from € 15.90 (€ 397.50 / l))* replace.
- Garnish: Before serving the ice cream, garnish with a few pieces of fresh pineapple or pan-roasted coconut flakes (e.g. health food store coconut rasp organic from € 3.49 (€ 13.96 / kg))* or coconut chips (e.g. süssundclever.de® | organic coconut chips | 1 from € 14.90 (€ 7.45 / piece))* . Roasted almond slivers or Brittle gives an extra kick of flavor and looks pretty.
- Serving suggestion: Serve the pina colada ice cream in a hollowed-out pineapple half for the ultimate vacation feeling. Baby pineapples are best for this. The flesh can either be used for the ice cream (see note above) or for decoration.

The ice cream is nice and creamy and tastes delicious. However, there are fibers from the pineapple in it. Next time I will pass the pineapple puree through a sieve first. LG Simone
Hello Simone,
Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm glad it tasted good 🙂
It is definitely a good idea to pass the pineapple puree through a sieve if there are still fibers in it. My blender is quite powerful. But sometimes you also have more or less tender specimens in the can 😉.
I would suggest pushing the ice cream mixture through the sieve at the end, because you will then have more liquid and it will probably be easier.
Best wishes and have fun making ice cream!
