When summer is here we tend to eat a lot more cold foods. For me, warm foods are for winter and cold foods are for summer. In summer I enjoy making my own ice cream with fresh fruit. When I made the roasted pineapple earlier this month I had leftovers so I decided to turn it into ice cream. The flavour of the roasted pineapple was very sweet and it made a tasty treat we all enjoyed. We hope you will too. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Roasted Pineapple Ice Cream was so yummy. It was easy to prepare and cook. However it was slightly time consuming but the efforts were worth the results. It was a yummy dessert. You could freeze the ice cream if you have any leftovers. Be aware that it will have more ice in it. Personally I think this dish is best served fresh. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you. xxx
