Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pour boiling water over the crushed pineapple in a large heat-proof bowl or pitcher.
  2. Add lemon juice and sugar to the pineapple mixture.
  3. Stir vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
  4. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold.
  5. Pour the chilled pineapple mixture into ice cube trays or a shallow metal bowl.
  6. Freeze the mixture until it is partially frozen and mushy, about 1-2 hours.
  7. In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
  8. Gently fold the stiffly beaten egg whites into the partially frozen pineapple mixture.
  9. Return the mixture to the freezer and freeze until solid, stirring occasionally if possible to prevent large ice crystals.
