Passionfruit Ice Cream
Passionfruit Ice Cream delivers a bold balance of sweet and tangy flavor using fresh or frozen passionfruit pulp blended into a rich cream base. The custard is churned until smooth and creamy, then frozen until scoopable. Allow roughly 30 minutes of active prep plus several hours of freezing time.
Equipment
- Ice Cream Maker
- Medium saucepan
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Fine mesh strainer
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream preferably organic
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 5 large egg yolks
- ½ cup passionfruit puree fresh or quality canned
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and salt. Heat until the edges begin to bubble, but do not let it come to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually add the warm cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 170°F (77°C).
- Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl to ensure a silky texture. Stir in the passionfruit puree and vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least an additional 2 hours to set fully.
Notes
- For a tangier flavor, add a teaspoon of fresh lime juice before churning.
- To create a layered effect, swirl in a passionfruit jam or coulis just before the final freeze.
