Description
This painkiller ice cream recipe blends coconut cream, pineapple, and rum into a silky no-churn dessert that brings tropical vacation vibes straight to your freezer. A luxury summer dessert idea that’s perfect for adults and easy to make without a machine.
Ingredients
1 cup coconut cream (not coconut milk)
1 cup heavy cream
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup pineapple juice
¼ cup orange juice
¼ cup dark rum (Pusser’s is traditional; optional but encouraged)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional Swirl or Topping
Crushed pineapple
Toasted shredded coconut
Extra dark rum drizzle or caramel sauce
Instructions
Step 1: Chill everything Put your coconut cream, heavy cream, and even your mixing bowl in the fridge. Cold makes it easier to whip and fold.
Step 2: Whip the heavy cream Whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks stand tall. Think fluffy, not runny.
Step 3: Mix the island base In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, condensed milk, juices, vanilla, and rum (if using). Stir until velvety.
Step 4: Fold it gently Gently fold the whipped cream into the tropical base with a spatula. Take your time.
Step 5: Make it yours Add crushed pineapple, toasted coconut, or a caramel swirl. You don’t need much. Just one small extra can make it feel like a celebration.
Step 6: Freeze and forget Pour into a loaf pan or freezer container. Smooth the top, cover, and freeze overnight.
Step 7: Scoop and savor Take it out, let it soften for a few minutes, then scoop like you mean it. Bowls. Cones. Straight from the tin if needed.
Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, skip the rum still tropical and tasty!
Use canned pineapple juice for convenience, or blend fresh for extra punch.
Swirl in caramel before freezing for that vacation dessert shop vibe.
