Ingredients

• 2 cans (14 oz) coconut milk
• 1 cup canned pineapple chunks, drained
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut (optional)

Directions

1. In a blender, combine the coconut milk, pineapple chunks, sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. If desired, toast the sweetened shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Set aside.
3. Pour the blended mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Place in the freezer for about 4 hours or until firm, stirring every hour to prevent ice crystals from forming.
4. Once the ice cream is firm, remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
5. Scoop the ice cream into serving bowls or cones. Top with toasted shredded coconut, if desired, for added texture and flavor.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
