Caramelized Pineapple adds delicious flavor to the no-churn ice cream. Top it with salted caramel for a perfect salty-sweet combination everyone will love.
No-churn ice cream base:
No-churn ice cream is a dream to work with. The base is sweetened condensed milk and heavy whipping cream – the rest is up to you. With ice cream, flavor combinations are limited only by your imagination. My all-time favorite flavor is No-Churn Cheesecake Ice Cream, although I also make a delicious No-Churn Blueberry Cobbler Ice Cream.
Caramelized pineapple:
I opted to caramelize the pineapple for my pineapple no-churn ice cream. It creates such a great flavor. I normally use light brown sugar in my baking, but dark brown sugar gives it a little bit more caramel-molasses flavor. If you only have light brown sugar, use that instead.
You can use the same method of cooking pineapple and brown sugar with pineapple chunks or rings. Caramelized pineapple chunks is a perfect ice cream topping. Grilling pineapple is also a good way to caramelize it. Simply dip the pineapple in brown sugar and grill. The sugar caramelizes and makes beautiful grill marks. Caramelized pineapple can also be used for savory dishes – like chicken or shrimp.
