Homemade Pineapple Coconut Ice Cream
I wanted to include an ice cream dessert in this week's menu because I know it's a favorite snack in the summer. My Homemade Pineapple Coconut Ice Cream is a wonderful treat. If you have an electric ice cream maker you'll be able to make this recipe in your machine. Be sure to freeze the freezer bowl of your ice cream maker overnight first. If you don't have an ice cream maker you can just freeze the milk mixture overnight after you prepare it. Ice Cream is a frozen mixture of heavy cream, milk, sugar, and flavorings that is slowly beaten in your ice cream maker to add air to the mixture.
