Cooking Time
Total estimated time: 4 hours 15 minutes (includes freezing time)
Ingredients
- 500ml (2 cups) passion fruit puree (from fresh fruit or store-bought)
- 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 250ml (1 cup) water
- 15ml (1 tbsp) fresh lemon juice
- 5g (1 tsp) lemon zest
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Passion Fruit Puree
If using fresh passion fruits, halve them and scoop out the pulp. Blend the pulp in a blender until smooth. Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Measure out 500ml (2 cups) of the strained puree.
Step 2: Make the Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar and 250ml (1 cup) water. Heat over medium heat while stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove the syrup from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the passion fruit puree, cooled simple syrup, 15ml (1 tbsp) fresh lemon juice, 5g (1 tsp) lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 4: Churn the Sorbet
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches the desired consistency. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours to break up ice crystals.
Step 5: Freeze
Once the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Cover tightly and freeze for 2-3 hours, or until firm.
