Passionfruit ice-cream is a delightful treat that combines the tropical tang of passionfruit with the creamy richness of traditional ice-cream. This unique blend offers a refreshing and exotic dessert perfect for warm days or any time you crave a sweet, fruity indulgence. By following these simple steps, you can create a homemade passionfruit ice-cream that will impress your family and friends.
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and heavy whipping cream. Heat over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
2. Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar:
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture is pale and thick.
- Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk and cream mixture into the egg yolks while constantly whisking. This helps temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
- Gradually add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk and cream mixture, whisking continuously.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or a heatproof spatula, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the passion fruit pulp until well combined.
- Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits and seeds from the passion fruit. This will ensure a smooth ice cream texture.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature. Then cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely chilled.
- Once the custard is thoroughly chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, depending on your machine.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. Cover with a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Scoop the passionfruit ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy! For extra flair, top with fresh passion fruit pulp or a few mint leaves.
Tips:
- Ensure that the heavy whipping cream is cold before whipping to achieve maximum volume and creaminess.
- For a smoother texture, strain the passionfruit pulp to remove seeds before adding it to the mixture.
- Use a double boiler or water bath to gently heat the egg yolks and sugar mixture to prevent them from curdling.
- Chill the ice-cream base thoroughly before churning to improve the final texture and consistency of the ice-cream.
- Freeze the mixing bowl for at least 30 minutes before using it to churn the ice-cream, for better results.
