Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh pineapple, finely chopped

1 cup full-fat coconut milk (for a creamy texture)

½ cup granulated sugar (or honey for a natural sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

12 chocolate chip cookies (store-bought or homemade)

Optional: Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple Mixture: In a mixing bowl, add the finely chopped pineapple, coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to blend beautifully.

    Blend the Mixture: Transfer the pineapple mixture into a blender or food processor. Pulse for approximately 20 seconds to achieve a slightly chunky consistency, ensuring some pineapple pieces remain for texture.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer or a stand mixer until stiff peaks form. This process should take about 3 to 5 minutes. The cream should hold its shape well.

        Combine Pineapple and Cream: Carefully fold the blended pineapple mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Do this gently to retain as much air as possible in the whipped cream, creating a light and airy ice cream.

          Freeze the Ice Cream: Pour the combined mixture into an airtight container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with a lid and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until it becomes solid and scoopable.

            Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the ice cream is fully set, take it out of the freezer. Scoop about ¼ cup of pineapple ice cream onto the flat side of one chocolate chip cookie. Place another cookie on top to create a sandwich, pressing lightly to ensure the ice cream adheres to the cookie.

              Freeze Again: Arrange the assembled ice cream sandwiches on a tray and return them to the freezer for an additional 1 to 2 hours. This will allow them to firm up and hold their shape when served.

                Serve and Garnish: Before serving, if desired, roll the edges of the ice cream sandwiches in toasted coconut flakes for an added crunch and flavorful touch. Enjoy your delightful and refreshing tropical frozen treats!
