Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If using fresh passion fruits, cut them in half and scoop out the pulp with a spoon. You can use a strainer to remove the seeds if you prefer a smoother texture, but it is optional as the seeds add a nice crunch.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the passionfruit pulp and Greek yogurt. Stir well to blend the yogurt with the fruit pulp.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the passionfruit-yogurt mixture, stirring continuously to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly to combine.
- In a separate chilled bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat the cream until soft peaks form. The cream should be thick but still smooth and soft.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the passionfruit-yogurt mixture. Be careful not to overmix as this can deflate the whipped cream. Fold until just combined and there are no large streaks of whipped cream.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to chill.
- After chilling, transfer the mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s directions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can place the mixture in a shallow dish or loaf pan and put it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals for a smoother consistency.
- Once the sherbet reaches your desired consistency, transfer it to an airtight container. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sherbet to prevent ice crystals from forming. Cover with the container's lid.
- Store in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- When ready to serve, let the sherbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
- Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade passion fruit sherbet!
Tips:
- For a more intense passion fruit flavor, you can add extra passion fruit pulp or a bit of passion fruit concentrate.
- Ensure that all ingredients are well chilled before mixing to speed up the freezing process when using the ice cream maker.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes for a few hours to achieve a smooth sherbet texture.
- Garnish with fresh passion fruit seeds or mint leaves for an added touch of freshness and presentation.
This passionfruit sherbet recipe is both easy to make and incredibly satisfying, offering a perfect balance between sweetness and tanginess. By following these steps and tips, you'll create a luscious frozen treat that's sure to be a hit with family and friends.
