Creamy Passion Fruit Ice Cream

  • Total Time: 5 hours
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

Enjoy the tropical delight of homemade passion fruit ice cream! This ultra-creamy, custard-based dessert balances tangy passion fruit with rich dairy for a smooth and refreshing treat. Perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup passion fruit pulp (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Passion Fruit Pulp: If using fresh passion fruit, cut and scoop out the pulp. Strain if a smooth texture is preferred. If frozen, thaw before use.
  2. Heat the Milk and Cream: In a saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, and half of the sugar. Heat over medium-low until warm but not boiling.
  3. Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar: In a bowl, whisk egg yolks with the remaining sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
  4. Temper the Eggs: Slowly add 1/2 cup of the warm milk mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly. Gradually incorporate half of the milk mixture.
  5. Cook the Custard: Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook on low, stirring constantly, until thickened (170-175°F). Do not boil.
  6. Strain and Cool: Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Stir in passion fruit pulp, vanilla, and salt. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  7. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour into an ice cream maker and churn per manufacturer’s instructions (20-30 minutes) until a soft-serve consistency is reached.
  8. Freeze Until Firm: Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes
