What each ingredient does
- Custard
- Forms the creamy, rich base that gives the ice cream its body and smooth texture.
- Preserved pineapple
- Adds sweetness, fruity acidity and chewy pieces throughout the frozen dessert.
The step that matters
Stirring while the mixture chills. Stirring as it freezes breaks up ice crystals and keeps the texture smooth rather than icy. Without it, the mixture freezes unevenly and the pineapple pieces can sink or cluster.
