This Pineapple Ice Cream is a delicious and creamy cold treat. If you have never made homemade ice cream, now is the time to start! This is a no-churn ice cream recipe so there are no eggs in it. It’s super easy to make and I never met anyone who hasn’t fallen in love with the flavors.
The fresh pineapple has a sweet and slightly tart flavor that pairs wonderfully with the vanilla and sweetened condensed milk. It’s not a cloyingly sweet dessert and the addition of the pineapple is so refreshing.

How to Make Pineapple Ice Cream
Here are the instructions on how to make no-churn ice cream. It’s very easy to follow and only takes 4 steps.
Step 1: Add ingredients to a blender. Combine the diced pineapple, condensed milk, and vanilla in a blender. Puree the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Whip the cream. In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer for about 3-5 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
Step 3: Fold together. Fold the blended pineapple mixture into the whipped cream until they are well combined. Transfer the ice cream to a 9x5 loaf pan.
Step 4: Cover and freeze. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for a minimum of 6 hours to set. Scoop and enjoy!
Hint: You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender when pureeing the pineapple to ensure it blends evenly.

Recipe FAQs
Yes! Be sure to drain all of the juice from the can before adding the pineapple to the blender. I like to use canned Dole pineapple in the ice cream.
Of course! Add it and blend just like the fresh pineapple. Just keep in mind it will take the same amount of time to set in the freezer.
