Step 1

Whisk together the coconut milk, cream, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk for 2-3 minutes on low speed until sugar is dissolved. Stir in the pineapple juice, vanilla extract, and pureed pineapples.

Step 2

Chill mixture for at least 2- 2 1/2 hours (or overnight).

Step 3

Turn on your ice cream machine. Pour chilled mixture into the freezer bowl and let mix until thickened about 25-30 minutes. If using rum, add in now and let churn for 2-3 more minutes.

Step 4

Transfer soft ice cream to a freezer-safe bowl and freeze for an additional 2 hours to ripen.

Step 5

Serve with toasted coconut flakes.
