Peanut butter and jelly.  Chocolate and almonds.  Berries and vanilla.  Lemon and mint. And, of course, pineapple and coconut.  Such great flavor combinations. Cuz I adore coconut. The natural flavor and touch of sweetness just send me over the moon. And yes, when paired with juicy can’t resist pineapple, it’s the absolute best.

Yup -- pineapple coconut ice cream!  It's what I call a delightful tropical indulgence of the clean eating kind. Genius!

Is Pineapple Coconut Ice Cream Healthy?

Yes, this pineapple coconut ice cream is healthy. Because there are only 3 simple ingredients, you don’t have to worry about what you are eating. It’s not complicated to make which means you can have it any time you get a craving! 

This recipe calls for canned coconut milk, and I am sure to check the label as I shop for groceries. I buy coconut milk without preservatives, added sugar and additives. You may see guar gum – it adds more fiber (it’s used to thicken) and may help decrease cholesterol levels. So don’t worry if you see guar gum, it’s safe. 

Of course, too much of a good thing is always bad and guar gum is no exception. Some people can have bloating and digestive upset if they eat too much guar gum. 

As for the pineapple:

• It’s loaded with Vitamin C and manganese
• It has antioxidants
• The bromelain may have cancer-fighting properties
• It may fight inflammation
• It’s good for the immune system

Does Coconut Milk Freeze Solid?

Yes, coconut milk freezes solid and that’s why it’s so terrific for this best-tasting ice cream recipe. Coconut milk adds a creaminess as opposed to just a crystal-like consistency. So remember, full fat coconut milk is the way to go for a coconut cream deliciousness.

How to Store Pineapple Coconut Ice Cream

When we have leftovers of this ice cream (rarely!!), I store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. It’s best when fresh, and oh-so wonderful on hot summer days! You can also wrap plastic wrap over the top and cover it with foil, but make sure it’s well sealed.
