Ingredients

Serves 6-8

  • 1 large pineapple

  • 3 egg whites

  • 175 g/6 oz caster sugar

  • 300 ml/1/2 pint double cream, whipped

Method:

  1. Cut the pineapple in half lengthways. Scrape out the flesh and juice into a bowl, discarding the hard core. Chop the flesh finely or puree in a food processor or blender.

  2. Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then gradually add the sugar, whisking continuously. Fold in the cream and chopped pineapple.

  3. Place the ice cream in a freezer proof container. Cover and freeze for 1 hour. Remove from the freezer, stir well, then re-freeze until solid.

  4. Transfer the ice cream to the refrigerator 20 minutes before serving, to soften.

  5. Scoop into the chilled pineapple shells and arrange on a serving dish. Scoop to chilled glass dishes to serve.

Note: The pineapple halves, when the flesh and juice have been removed, can make attractive containers for serving this ice cream.
