Rum-Roasted Pineapple Ice Cream

For Roasted Pineapple:
1 Fresh Pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon Spiced Rum
2 tablespoons Sugar
                               
For Ice Cream:
2 cups Heavy Cream
¼ cup Spiced Rum
4 large Egg Yolks
½ cup Sugar

1/2 cup Heavy Cream, whipped to soft peaks

For Pineapple:

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

2.   Place the pineapple in a bowl and toss the pineapple in 1 tablespoon of rum.

3.   Spread out the coated pineapple on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking sheet. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar amount and bake for approximately 1 ½ hours, checking after the first hour to see if the pineapple has taken on a little color.  Set aside and allow to cool completely.

4.   In a heavy-bottomed saucepan bring 2 cups cream and ¼ cup rum to a gentle boil.  Add pineapple, and remove from heat.

5.   In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk yolks and ½ cup of sugar until pale and thickened, about 2 minutes.

6.   Temper the cream mixture into the egg mixture by slowly streaming small amounts of the cream into the egg mixture while the whisk is on a low speed.

7.   Once the eggs and cream are incorporated, return the mixture to the saucepan and continue to whisk over medium heat until thickened, about 3 minutes.  The mixture will be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.  Cool until chilled thoroughly or until mixture measures 40°F.

8.   In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the remaining amount of cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold into cooled cream and yolk mixture.

9.   Transfer to an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions, 20 to 30 minutes on average.  Transfer to a separate freezer container and allow cream to ripen in the freezer for at least 4 hours.

  1. Garnish with roasted pineapple chunks and fresh mint leaves.
