Thanks, Terry. Can't wait to try it!!! From: Terry Pogue <tpogue@...> Terry Pogue <tpogue@...> Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2012 6:18 PM Subject: The

best Ice Cream I've ever had

I made the most spectacular ice cream this afternoon. It just blew us away.

It's the Pineapple, Coconut, Rum ice cream and it's beyond belief the best Ice cream I've ever had let alone made. Right up there with my Roasted Plum Ice Cream that is the full cream deal I started making 10 or 15 years ago.

Here's what I did for the Pineapple Coconut Rum Ice Cream

I used one package of Dole Frozen Pineapple Chunks. Yesterday I put the contents of the bag in a small pot with the lid on and the heat very low. (no water or anything added) I must have cooked it for about 15 or 20 minutes after they thawed. Then put the pineapple chunks on parchment covered sheet pan in the freezer.

Today. On to the ice cream/

In the Vitamix I put coconut syrup, just enough to cover the bottom plus a little. Then I added what was probably 3 T of heavy cream. No sugar. I figured the pineapple was sweet eough. Enough of the coconut syrup/heavy cream to come up to just under the blade. Added 1/2 teaspoon of Xanthan Gum and gave it a twirl to mix it all. Then added the frozen pineapple pieces. Turned the machine on high and used the plunger to whack all the corners down until it made that gear noise that tells me it's ice cream. I added a slurp of dark rum and gave it another whirl.

It's beyond delicious.

I have since discovered you do not need to cook the pineapple, just use it

frozen.

What, exactly, is coconut syrup? I have coconut oil and coconut cream and

coconut milk. Do you buy or make syrup? Thanks

I don't think it matters in the ice cream. My friend has been using cream of

coconut (comes in small cans). I think the trick with ice cream is to use what

you like just never more than 3 or 4 tablespoons of a liquid to 2 cups of frozen

product. This makes ice cream not soft serve ice cream that form the cloverleaf

on the top. Of course, for me, the only necessity is the 1/2 teaspoon of Xanthan

gum.

This week I plan on figuring out how to work with some of the other thickeners

and see how to control the resulting texture.
