Ingredients For Pineapple Coconut Ice Cream
- Heavy Cream
- Sweetened Condensed Milk
- Coconut Flakes
- Freshly Sliced Pineapple
- Vanilla
How To Make
Step 1: Take your heavy cream and place in a stand mixer. You will need to whip this until it forms stiff peaks. It will be like a whipped cream texture.
Step 2: Once the heavy cream is whipped, pour in your sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Fold your mixture together.
Step 3: Now pour in your diced pineapple chunks, and coconut. You can use toasted coconut if you would like a richer flavor for this no churn pineapple ice cream.
Step 4: Once you get your mixture all mixed, pour into your pan. I used a bread pan but you can buy special no churn ice cream containers if you want.
Step 5: Then when your ice cream is fully frozen, spoon up, and serve an incredible homemade pineapple ice cream.

Do I Have To Add Coconut To Ice Cream
No, you are more than welcome to make a straight pineapple ice cream and leave off the coconut.
I loved the coconut added in, but you don’t have to do it.
Sweetened Coconut or Unsweetened Coconut
I used sweetened coconut in this recipe. Since the only sugar is mostly from the fruit you will find if you use unsweetened it might offer a bit of a bitter taste.
If you are worried it will be too sweet, maybe do half unsweet and half sweetened. This is one of my favorite pineapple frozen desserts, and the coconut really elevates the flavor.
How to Store No Churn Ice Cream
You need to keep your ice cream covered and stored in a proper container. I used a loaf pan that I double wrapped in foil. But there are many ice cream containers you can buy and use as well.
Keep your ice cream pushed back far on the shelf in the freezer. Otherwise, if it is at front, each time you open and close the freezer you run the risk of developing ice crystals on top of the ice cream.
Recipe FAQs
If you don’t have fresh pineapple you can use canned for sure. Just drain off the juice of the pineapple before you mix it in.
2-3 months when stored properly in the refrigerator is the shelf life of this ice cream. It can develop ice crystals on top, so be aware of that.
Add a layer of plastic wrap on top of your lid that you are freezing your ice cream in. This is going to help prevent unwanted ice crystals on top of your ice cream.
No churn means you do not need an ice cream machine to make the ice cream. Just mix it up, pour in pan, and freeze as directed.
