Pineapple Upside Down cake ice cream

My wife is a fan of Jenis pineapple upside down cake ice cream and I've thought about making a homemade version. Not meant to be exactly the same but a launching point.
I bought an amazing fresh pineapple and made a pineapple upside down cake the evening before I was going to make the ice cream. I followed this recipe but used fresh pineapple instead of canned. https://sugarspunrun.com/pineapple-upside-down-cake/
It came out really well and can be seen in one of the pictures.

I then made a pineapple ice cream following this recipe:
390g heavy cream
80g powdered milk
120g sugar
40g corn syrup
1 20oz/565g can of pineapple chunks in syrup. Pureed and cooked for 15-20 minutes to reduce some and concentrate the flavor.

Mix and chill for several hours (overnight would work too since the flavors would infuse more).

I had some leftover fresh pineapple (3 slices) that I broke up into small pieces, mixed with a little brown sugar and baked at 400 for 15-20 minutes so that I would have some candied pineapple pieces to add later.

Freeze the mixture accordingly when ready.

While freezing I took a large slice of the cake and broke it up into small pieces that I intended to add later in the churning process. I evidently waited too long as after pausing the churning and adding some cake the machine would not churn. I had to mix by hand. When I make this again I will try to add some of the cake earlier in the process to see if it makes a difference.

Final steps were to layer ice cream, then a little caramel sauce, cake pieces and candied pineapple, then ice cream and repeat until the container was full. Drizzled a little caramel on top and then froze for a few hours to set.

Overall quite pleased. Ice cream had a very strong pineapple flavor. It was a little on the sweet side which was probably due to the canned pineapple being in syrup. So I would probably reduce the sugar to 100g.
The layering technique worked well as when scooped I got a little of everything and that was the effect I was looking for.

Multiple steps needed so this recipe takes a little planning and time but I will do it again, especially if I can find a good fresh pineapple.
