Passionfruit sherbet

Passionfruit sherbet is a delightful and refreshing dessert that combines the tangy tropical flavor of passion fruit with the creamy texture of Greek yogurt and heavy cream. This sherbet is an ideal treat for hot summer days or as a light and fruity finish to any meal. Follow this simple recipe to create a delicious batch of passionfruit sherbet at home.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup passion fruit
72g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
3/4 cup greek yogurt
180g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Passionfruit Pulp:
- 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.
3. Add the Sugar and Vanilla:
- 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.
4. Whip the Cream:
- 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.
6. Chill the Mixture:
- 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.
7. Freeze the Sherbet:
- 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.
8. Store the Sherbet:
- 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.
9. Serve:
- 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.
