PINEAPPLE COCONUT ICE CREAM


So . . . this might be my favorite ice cream ever. Most people that know me, know my family, or know Sam, know that I have an overwhelming love for ice cream. More specifically, homemade ice cream. I recently (like 6 months ago) bought an ice cream maker and more recently decided to dust it off and make some ice cream. I normally would make vanilla or mint oreo, but I wanted to do something different, I wanted to see if I could recreate my favorite. The verdict is in and I came pretty darn close. The trick is to let it set and freeze a little longer in the actual freezer, you might have to hand crank for a little bit too after the engine stops on your electric maker. Here's the recipe:

3 eggs
2 cups of sugar
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 pint of heavy whipping cream
1 quart half and half
3 capfuls of coconut extract
1/4 - 1/2 cups of sweetened coconut shavings (don't get the shredded stuff)
two spoonfuls of crushed pineapple
1/8 - 1/4 cup of pineapple juice
