Homemade Passion Fruit Ice Cream Recipe

You can’t get more exotic, than enjoying a yummy passion fruit ice cream at home, and it feels good I can tell you! So, today I’ll share an easy and delicious recipe for ice cream with passion fruit you can make at home. Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims, Passifloraceae) comes from a type of tropical liana plant and is sometimes also called grenadilla, mostly in Latin America.

This fruit comes from passionflower and grows in countries that do not know our chilling cold winters, where for the most part of the year it’s endless summer. This is giving us the modern day chance to to enjoy such exotic fruits all the time thru the year, which is really great!

It’s a cutely fruity and icy recipe to serve in summer. You only need, passion fruit, vanilla extract and lime (or lemon).

For those of you who aren’t familiar with passion fruit, it’s a fruit usually dark brown in color (there is a more common yellow variety of it), with the size of a small Clementine. Its skin is very hard and the inside flesh is made up of small pockets each containing a little juice and a seed.

Just like the Tonka bean ice cream I made recently, this recipe served as the basis for my second Christmas log making test.

It is not that hot currently where I live as it was at the beginning of the week, but this is not a reason to put the good homemade ice cream back in the fridge, right. First of all we are still officially in summer and then in any way there is no season to eat it.

I made this ice cream last week for the first time. At first I thought about making a sorbet with my fruit and then I realized that I did not have enough juice for it. By scouring on the net I came across this super easy passion fruit ice cream recipe. I liked the texture of this ice cream. It reminded me of the Italian ice cream I enjoyed for a good week at the end of August! It is very easy to do, just take it the day before so that the aromas develop and have an ice cream maker for simplicity (but it is also possible to do without regularly stirring your tray placed in the freezer). I’m a bit of a mono maniac of passion fruit sorbets (and with mango too!) and their deliciously tart, fresh fruity taste.

In this ice cream recipe there is less acidity and much more natural sweetness. The passion fruit fragrance is less present, but the smoothness of the texture is stunning, don’t you think?

Ingredients

For 8 person

• 4 organic yoghurts
• 1 organic lemon
• 3 eggs
• 1 pinch of salt
• 120 g icing sugar
• 2 sachets of vanilla sugar

Preparation of the passion fruit yogurt ice cream:

Start by separating the egg whites in a salad bowl.
Add a pinch of salt. With a mixer, mount your egg whites in snow, they should be firm. If the lemon is not organic, rinse it before recovering the zest.

In another salad bowl, mix the egg yolks with icing sugar with a wooden spoon, then pour the 4 natural yoghurts, the juice of half a lemon, the zest and milk.

Add the vanilla then mix everything with a mixer.

Gently stir the snow-beaten egg whites into the resulting mixture. Be careful not to break them too much by incorporating them because their role is to give the creaminess to the ice.

Put in the ice cream maker and leave to blend for at least 35 minutes.
Extend if the texture does not suit you.

Then reserve, in a box in the freezer.

Tip to Easily cut the mango for decoration

Cut the Mango by half, being as close as possible to the core. Pass the blade of a fine knife between the flesh and the skin of the mango all around the fruit. Then make incisions in the length and width of the flesh, so as to make a grid. Take half of mango between your two hands and turn the skin on itself : mango cubes appear. All you have to do is detach them with a knife.

Even if it looks like a sunny day has to pay for the rain to come, the summer here is almost there at its peak now. You know me now, I am, among other things often called Mrs gelato : -). I have made it very often at home, I never get tired of it and especially I test new methods or recipes to share with you. I had already used condensed milk in an ice cream: it gives creamy texture, sweet taste and allows the ice not to solidify too much (also practical when you do not have an ice cream maker).

For example in this ice cream with vanilla and condensed milk or chocolate, coconut and condensed milk … here it is still a little different because it is almost a classic ice cream (but with a yellow color) enriched and refreshed by the passion fruit juice. A beautiful balance.

Guaranteed result and minimal effort.

I started while I had some fruit puree from the passion fruit (very good and practical) bought for a job during a detour at the large grocery store here (it’s also the only thing I took, they renovated the place and it’s great really.

As you will see the ice is creamy, sweet with this fragrant surprise of the fruit. By the way I think you can replace the passion fruit with another tart fruit like raspberry for example.

Condensed milk ice cream and passion fruit juice (for about 8 people)

Ingredients

• 200 g of sweetened condensed milk
• 15 cl (150 g) fresh whole milk
• 12 cl (120g) of passion fruit pulp (equivalent to 8-10 fruit walls, without the grains, or mashed cap’fruit)
• 8 cl (80g) water
• 60 g sugar
• 1 egg yolk (20 g)
• 4 fruits of passion to serve

1. Heat the water with milk (do not need to boil) with 20 g of sugar, add condensed milk, egg yolk and mix. Cook over low heat, without ceasing to stir forming 8, up to 84°C (without thermometer : the cream should become thick and passing the finger on the back of a spoon, the trace should remain sharp) like a custard. Pass through a mixer, pour into a container, cover with film Paper on contact and put in the freezer 30 minutes. Keep in the refrigerator for several hours.

2. Prepare the juice . Heat half of the passion fruit juice with sugar on low heat until it becomes denser, add the rest. Keep cold covered with film Paper on contact.
Pour the Cold Cream into the ice cream maker, after about twenty minutes (the ice will begin to take) add the juice and continue to prepare the ice. Keep in the freezer and then serve with a little passion fruit pulp.
If you want, you can also form a marbled ice. In this case, the grout should be more dense and added When the ice is ready.

Without ice cream maker: it will be enough to mix the ice every hour and mix it after two hours to avoid the formation of crystals. If too hard mix it still can before serving and keep in the freezer.
