Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Drain pineapple in a fine-mesh colander. Reserve 1 cup of the syrup and refrigerate until use.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pour the ice cream into an airtight, freezer-safe bowl. Fold in the meat caramel. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

Step 5

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.
