Pineapple Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups drained canned crushed pineapple in juice (from a 20-fl-oz can), reserving 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon juice
• 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 1/4 cups whole milk
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup chilled heavy cream

Preparation Method

• Bring pineapple, 1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice, and 1/2 cup sugar to a boil in a    2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved.


•  Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pineapple is softened, about 5    minutes.


• Stir together cornstarch and remaining tablespoon pineapple juice in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved, then add to pineapple mixture and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 1 minute.


•  Bring milk just to a boil in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan.


• Whisk together yolks, remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and a large    pinch of salt in a bowl, then add hot milk in a stream, whisking.


• Pour custard back into saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring with a    wooden spoon, until custard registers 170 to 175°F on thermometer, 2 to 3 minutes.


•  Immediately pour custard through a very fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, then stir in    pineapple mixture and vanilla and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.


• Stir the cream, then chill custard, covered, until very cold, about 4 hours.


• Freeze custard in ice cream maker.


•  Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 12    hours.
