Time 6h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (20 ounce) cans crushed pineapple in heavy syrup
2 cups heavy whipping cream
½ cup brown sugar
1 (7 ounce) can fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM®), diced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 dragon fruit, peeled and cubed

Steps:

  • Drain pineapple in a fine-mesh colander. Reserve 1 cup of the syrup and refrigerate until use.
  • Place pineapple, heavy whipping cream, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar in a blender or food processor; blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Place cubed luncheon meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 10 minutes. Flip with a spatula every 2 minutes so all sides brown nicely. Add reserved pineapple syrup and 2 tablespoons brown sugar to the skillet; continue cooking until thick and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • While the meat caramel is cooling, pour cold pineapple mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Add dragon fruit in the last 5 minutes of churning.
  • Pour the ice cream into an airtight, freezer-safe bowl. Fold in the meat caramel. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

This tropical drink is from Safeway's website, posted by LSheridan. It's really delicious, with a wonderful Hawaiian flair to it. I garnished our drinks with skewer that had a pineapple chunk and a red cherry on it, but I think a wedge of lime or orange segment would be a great garnish, too.
