Preparation Steps
1
Peel the pineapple, cut it into smaller pieces, and purée until smooth in a blender.
2
In a large bowl, combine the coconut milk, heavy cream, honey, vanilla extract, and pineapple purée. Mix well until you have a homogeneous mixture.
3
Add the white rum and shredded coconut, then mix again. The rum helps to keep the ice cream soft.
4
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions until creamy.
5
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir with a fork to prevent ice crystals from forming.
6
Once the ice cream has reached the desired consistency (after about 4-5 hours of freezing), serve sprinkled with shredded coconut and garnished with fresh pineapple pieces, if desired.
