Hawaii Five-O So Good Ice Cream
Description
Pineapple and dragon fruit are the refreshing Hawaiian flavors in this 5-step ice cream with a unique meaty caramel swirl.
Ingredients
•
2 (20 ounce) cans crushed pineapple in heavy syrup
•
2 cups heavy whipping cream
•
1/2 cup brown sugar
•
1 (7 ounce) can fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM®), diced
•
2 tablespoons brown sugar
•
1 dragon fruit, peeled and cubed
Directions
1
Drain pineapple in a fine-mesh colander. Reserve 1 cup of the syrup and refrigerate until use.
2
Place pineapple, heavy whipping cream, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar in a blender or food processor; blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3
Place cubed luncheon meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 10 minutes. Flip with a spatula every 2 minutes so all sides brown nicely. Add reserved pineapple syrup and 2 tablespoons brown sugar to the skillet; continue cooking until thick and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
4
While the meat caramel is cooling, pour cold pineapple mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Add dragon fruit in the last 5 minutes of churning.
5
Pour the ice cream into an airtight, freezer-safe bowl. Fold in the meat caramel. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
