Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup passion fruit puree (fresh or frozen works great)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Mix the magic fruit base:
In a bowl, whisk together the passion fruit puree and sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved. This fruity mix is where the tangy magic begins.
2. Make the creamy base:
In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and just a pinch of salt. Stir gently until well blended.
3. Combine the best of both worlds:
Slowly pour the passion fruit mixture into the cream base, stirring continuously until smooth and silky.
4. Churn it up:
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to your machine’s instructions. It usually takes about 20–25 minutes to reach that luscious soft-serve consistency.
5. Freeze to perfection:
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. Pop it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can wait—it’ll be worth it!
6. Scoop & serve:
Once firm, scoop out this tropical goodness and enjoy! Pair it with fresh berries, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of honey for an extra indulgent twist.
