Perfect for warm days, this recipe combines the exotic flavor of passionfruit with the creaminess of whipped cream, powdered sugar, and greek yogurt.

Instructions:
- If you are using fresh passion fruits, slice them in half and scoop out the pulp into a bowl. Ensure you have around 1/2 cup (120g) of passion fruit pulp. Remove any large seeds if preferred, though they can add a nice crunch to the ice cream.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the passion fruit pulp and powdered sugar. Mix them together until the sugar dissolves into the pulp.
- In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take around 3-5 minutes.
- Gently fold the Greek yogurt into the whipped cream. Ensure the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the passion fruit and sugar mixture into the whipped cream and yogurt blend. Fold the ingredients together carefully until the mixture is uniform in color and texture. Avoid over-mixing to keep the airiness of the whipped cream.
- Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid. Place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until fully set. For best results, leave it overnight.
- Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. Serve in bowls or cones, and enjoy your homemade passionfruit ice cream!
- Garnish with fresh passion fruit pulp or a mint leaf for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
There you have it - a delicious and refreshingly simple passionfruit ice-cream that requires just four ingredients. This dessert is perfect for impressing your guests or simply treating yourself. Enjoy the creamy texture and tangy sweetness of this homemade ice-cream!
