Method
- 1
Reduce the pineapple. Simmer the pineapple and its juice in a wide pan, stirring often, until almost no liquid is left, 15-20 min. Cool.
- 2
Warm. Heat half the coconut milk with the milk, sugar and milk powder, whisking out any lumps, until it steams.
- 3
Yolks. Whisk the yolks in the bowl, then slowly whisk in a ladle of the hot coconut milk and pour everything back into the pan.
- 4
Cook. Stir over low heat until it thickens slightly and reaches 77-80 °C. Off the heat, stir in the rest of the coconut milk and the vanilla.

Blend. Blend the custard with the cooked pineapple until nearly smooth; small flecks of fruit are fine. Cool over iced water, cover and chill overnight.
- 6
Churn. Churn for 20-25 min until it mounds on a spoon.
- 7
Freeze. Pack into the container and freeze for at least 3 h. Scatter with toasted coconut to serve.

EU nutrition claims
- Low salt: 0.07 g salt per 100 g (limit ≤ 0.3 g)
Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 108 g a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
