Steps:

• Mix cream of coconut, half-and-half, chopped pineapple, pineapple juice, coconut flakes, and coconut extract together in a large bowl.

COCONUT PINEAPPLE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Mix coconut milk and pineapple preserves in a bowl with a stick blender. This breaks up pineapple pieces in the preserves into a finer texture so they are not so lumpy in the final dish. You can do this in the blender if necessary, or if you like chunky bits of pineapple just melt the preserves in the microwave for 30 seconds.
• Mix in the cream of coconut. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator overnight.
• Freeze the mixture in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Once the mixture has finished churning, spoon into a container with a tight lid and put it in the freezer for at least an hour to harden before serving.

PINEAPPLE-COCONUT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl until thick and light yellow. Set aside.
• Heat half-and-half in a small saucepan until small bubbles start appearing around the edges. Remove from heat. Slowly drizzle into the eggs and sugar, whisking until incorporated. Return to the saucepan.
• Heat custard over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it coats the back of a spoon or reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Do not boil.
• Remove from heat and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until temperature reaches 65 degrees F (18 degrees C).
• Gently whisk in heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons reserved canned pineapple juice, and cream of coconut. Transfer to an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Add crushed pineapple and flaked coconut near the end of the churning or it will all settle to the bottom. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

Steps:

• Place heavy whipping cream in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. This can also be done with a hand blender with whisk attachment but will take much longer. Blend for 4 minutes on low speed and adjust speed going up to 6 as it thickens. Once it resembles whipped topping then it's ready.
• Fold in the can of sweetened condensed milk. Then pour some into a 9 inch square pan. Add in pineapple placing the chunks down into the mixture all over the pan. Top with shredded coconut.
• Place in the freeze for at least 6 hours but best if froze overnight.
• Scoop and serve!
