To create the perfect Tropical Bliss Frozen Pineapple Ice Cream Sandwiches, it’s essential to combine the fresh pineapple puree with the whipped cream correctly. Start by ensuring your cream is whipped to soft peaks. This means that when you lift the whisk, the cream should hold its shape but still have a slight droop.

Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh pineapple, finely chopped

1 cup coconut milk (full fat for creaminess)

½ cup sugar (or honey for a natural sweetener)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

12 chocolate chip cookies (store-bought or homemade)

Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped pineapple, coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

    Blend the Mixture: Transfer the pineapple mixture into a blender or food processor. Pulse for about 20 seconds to slightly break down the pineapple while still keeping some chunks for texture.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

        Combine Pineapple and Cream: Gently fold the blended pineapple mixture into the whipped cream. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.

          Freeze the Ice Cream: Pour the mixture into an airtight container. Cover with a lid and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.

            Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the ice cream is fully set, remove it from the freezer. Scoop about ¼ cup of the pineapple ice cream onto the flat side of one chocolate chip cookie. Top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Press lightly to ensure the ice cream sticks to the cookie.

              Freeze Again: Place the assembled ice cream sandwiches on a tray and return them to the freezer. Freeze for an additional 1-2 hours to firm up.

                Serve and Garnish: Before serving, roll the edges of the ice cream sandwiches in toasted coconut flakes for added flavor and texture, if desired. Enjoy your refreshing frozen treats!
