PJ now you've done it! you have totally made me want to go out this wkend and purchase the Cuisinart ice cream maker...just so i can make this recipe. I have a profound weakness for coconut ice cream and our local spot charges almost $5 for a waffle bowl of it. I was wondering...can the pineapple be processed separately from the custard and then just mixed in by hand with the custard or is it important that the two be mixed together simultaneously in the food processor? Thanks! For a "traditional" smooth gelato you'll want to use the processor. That said, there is no technical reason why you could not add the prepared pineapple directly to the custard, stirring to incorporate. Give it a try. Frank @ KAF. I actually bought one of the Cuisinart ice cream makers myself, John - I'm a total cheapskate, but it's just plain fun, especially when kids are around or you're having a party. And I can justify the calories by making sorbet a regular part of the repertoire... :) PJH
