Why this recipe works
Pineapple supplies acidity while coconut adds fat and body. A measured syrup controls texture without turning the dessert into a heavy ice cream.
Practical tips and variations
- Stir both thawed purées before weighing.
- For a no-machine method, freeze in a shallow tray and whisk every 30 minutes for three hours.
- Serve with toasted coconut added at the last moment if desired.
Serving and storage
Keep covered in the freezer for up to two weeks. Let it soften briefly before serving.
