Method
-
step 1
Skin the nuts by putting in boiling water for about 1 minute then pull away the skins and coarsely chop.
-
step 2
Put the marshmallows into a basin. Strain the pineapple, keep 150ml of the juice and add to the marshmallows. Stand basin over a saucepan of hot, but not boiling, water and leave until just dissolved. This can also be done on the defrost setting in a microwave. Allow the mixture to cool.

step 3
step 3
Finely chop the pineapple rings, add to the marshmallows with the nuts and sugar. Whip the cream until it stands in soft peaks, do not over-whip. Whipping is not necessary with an ice cream maker. Fold into the other ingredients. Either spoon in the ice-cream maker and freeze or put into a dish and place in the freezer.
Variations: other fruits and nuts can be used. The marshmallows can be dissolved in vermouth, instead of fruit juice.
Raspberry Ice Cream: dissolve the marshmallows in 225ml fresh raspberry puree, add the sugar and cream as above. Other soft fruits can be used in the same way.
