If you have questions about making Pineapple Ice Cream, I have answers! Take a look at this section before leaving a comment if you run into trouble or just want some suggestions. 

• How long does no-churn ice cream last?

However long it takes you to finish it!! ? Joking, sorta. I would use up any ice cream within 2-3 months.

• Does no-churn ice cream taste good?

I think it does! Is it exactly like the stuff you churn yourself or buy at the store? Not exactly, but it’s similar enough without all of the work – and it does taste yummy!

• I’m not a fan of pineapple, can I use a different fruit?

Yes! I don’t know how this would be with fresh fruit, instead, I would skip using fresh fruit here and opt for things like canned (and drained) fruit or frozen fruit. Pie filling is great, too! I have a few other no-churn ice cream recipes linked below – be sure to check them out!

• What does no-churn mean?

No-churn means no ice cream maker or machine is needed!

• How do I stop ice crystals from forming on the top of my ice cream?

Plastic wrap! Exposure to air is what causes freezer burn and those yucky ice crystals to form. Placing a piece of plastic wrap directly on the ice cream’s surface helps block the air from reaching it. I’ve also heard you can put the entire container of ice cream in a zip-top bag and remove as much air as possible for an additional layer of protection!
