Best Passion Fruit Ice Cream Recipes

PASSION FRUIT ICE CREAM WITH RUM-VANILLA CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• For the ice cream: Pour the cream into a large chilled bowl and whisk to firm peaks, either by hand or with an electric mixer. Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a second large bowl and mix in the vanilla and passion fruit nectar. In three additions, fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk until just combined. Pour the mixture into an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap, pressing lightly on the surface to keep air out. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• For the caramel sauce: Pour the sugar into a small saucepan with 1/4 cup water and set over medium heat. Add the lemon juice. Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean halves and add the pod. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, swirling the pan occasionally and brushing down the sides of the pot with a pastry brush as needed, until the sugar syrup is a dark amber color, about 10 minutes.
• Carefully add the cream--it may bubble up--and stir to combine. Whisk in the butter, a few pieces at a time. Add a pinch of salt, then whisk in the rum. Let the sauce cool until just warm, about 15 minutes.
• While the sauce is cooling, remove the ice cream from the freezer to soften. Serve the warm sauce over the ice cream.

PASSION-FRUIT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk together sugar and eggs. Heat cream in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until it just reaches a boil, then add hot cream to egg mixture in a slow stream, whisking. Pour custard into saucepan.
• Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until it registers 170°F on an instant-read or candy thermometer (do not let boil). Pour custard through a fine sieve into a clean bowl and cool completely. Stir in passion-fruit pulp, then chill, covered, until cold.
• Freeze custard in ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.
• Available in Latino markets.

PASSION FRUIT ICE CREAM SUNDAE

Steps:

• For the Passion Fruit Ice Cream:
• Place the milk and cream in a saucepan with 1/2 of the sugar, glucose and salt. Bring to a simmer. While the liquids are heating, crack the egg yolks into a bowl, and place the other half of the sugar to the side. Place the passion fruit puree into a bain marie and set it into an ice bath for cooling purposes. Now that the liquids are hot, temper the yolks with the hot milks. First whisk the sugar into the yolks and then, slowly pour the milks into the yolks whisking constantly. Now pour it back into the pan. On low heat, cook the mixture until thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Strain the ice cream base through a chinois over the passion fruit puree and allow it to cool in the ice bath.
• Spin the ice cream in the machine. Allow it to freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.
• For the Tres Leches Ice Cream:
• In a saucepan place the milk, cream, and coconut milk. Whisk together the sugar and stabilizer, then whisk it well into the milks. Add the condensed milk to the pan, along with the dry milk, and salt. Place the pan on medium heat, and allow the mixture to come to a steam.
• While heating, place the eggs and trimolene in a bowl together and set aside.
• Prepare your ice bath, by placing a bain marie into ice for cooling the ice cream mixture.
• Now that your milks are hot, very slowly whisk into your egg mixture some of the milk. Add everything back to the pan, and stir for 30 seconds, then strain it through a chinois into the prepared ice bath. Once cooled, add the rum.
• Pour the ice cream mixture into your ice cream machine and spin until set. Place in the freezer for at least 1 hour before serving.
• For the Coconut Croquant:
• Place the fondant and glucose in a small saucepan. Cook the mixture until 120 degrees C or 274 degrees F, then add the toasted coconut and stir well. Quickly, pour the mixture onto a silpat, and lay another silpat on top. Using a rolling pin, roll the mixture out as thin as you can, and place in a preheated 325 degrees F oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Allow it to cool completely. Approximately 10 minutes.
• Crush the croquant by placing it in a food processor and pulsing until small. If you do not have a processor it can be chopped by hand using a serrated knife.
• Once crushed, place it aside until assembly.
• For the Whipping the Cream:
• Place all the ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer with the whip attachment. Be sure that the cream is very cold to allow it to whip nicely. Whip it on medium speed until ribbons form, then turn the machine on high to finish whipping. Place in a pastry bag with a star tip. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the Coconut Rum Caramel Sauce:
• Place the sugar and glucose in a small saucepan. Add just enough water to loosen the sugar and make it like "wet sand". Wash the sides of the pan down with water so that it is clean. Place a lid on the pan to allow it to boil and allow the sugar to dissolve faster.
• While the sugar is heating, warm the coconut milk.
• Prepare an ice bath with a bain marie placed in ice.
• Once the sugar has caramelized to a golden brown color, add the butter, and whisk it in carefully. Add the warm coconut milk slowly, then once the sugar stops boiling, whisk everything carefully. Add the rum. Place it back on the fire to dissolve any remaining sugar.
• Pour the sauce in the bain marie, and cool completely. Place the sauce into a squeeze bottle until ready to serve.
• For the Piping Tuile:
• Place the whites and the powdered sugar in a bowl, place it over small pan with simmering water and whisk until the whites are warm (110 degrees F). Add the flour and whisk everything until combined.
• Slowly add the melted butter. Mix well, scraping down the sides. Strain the mixture through a chinois. Cool before using. Place in a piping bag with a very small tip.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F, and on a silpat draw your desired shape with the batter, and bake until golden brown. Start with 5 minutes, and then rotate the pan, for another 5 minutes.
• Bend the tuile as desired. Set-aside until ready to finish Sundae.
• For the Mango Coulis:
• Peel the mangoes and place the flesh of the fruit into a blender.
• Taste the puree. If the puree is sweet, do not add sugar. If you want it sweeter, add to your taste and blend once more to dissolve the sugar. Pass the puree through a fine sieve. Put into a squeeze bottle until ready to serve.
• Assembly:
• Peel the kiwi and slice 5 of them into thin rounds. Dice the remaining kiwi.
• Cut the passion fruit in half and scoop out the fruit and seeds.
• Begin the assembly, by placing the kiwi slices around the base of the glass.
• Fill the inside base of the glass with some mango coulis. Pipe in a layer of whipped cream.
• Sprinkle with some croquant, and place 1 scoop passion ice cream in the center. Drizzle caramel around the sides of the ice cream.
• Add another layer of whipped cream, 1 scoop tres leches, drizzle mango sauce, sprinkle kiwi dice, and another drizzle of caramel.
• Pipe another layer of whip cream then center the passion ice cream. Drizzle caramel sauce around the ice cream, sprinkle with some fresh passion seeds and add kiwi. Finish with whipped cream, and then sprinkle with toasted sweet coconut, a momo berry, and a tuile. Serve.

PASSION FRUIT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, passion fruit juice, vanilla and salt. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
• In a bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, pour cold heavy cream and process on low speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Scoop half the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture and gently fold.
• Add condensed milk/whipped cream mixture to the remaining whipped cream. Fold again and pour the mixture into an ice cream tub. Level it out with a spatula, cover and transfer to the freezer for 5-6 hours or until frozen.

COCONUT TUILE CONES WITH PASSION-FRUIT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Bring butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup to a boil over moderate heat, stirring. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until dough is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in coconut and cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Crumple foil to form a solid cone (about 6 inches long and 3 inches across widest part) for shaping cookies.
• Drop 2 (1-tablespoon) portions of dough 6 inches apart on a buttered baking sheet and pat each into a 5-inch round with your fingertips. Bake in middle of oven until golden, 6 to 8 minutes (cookies will spread to about 6 inches).
• Let cookies stand on baking sheet until just firm enough to hold their shape, about 2 minutes. Gently loosen cookies from baking sheet with offset spatula, then turn over so smooth sides are facing up. Roll 1 cookie onto cone and cool on cone until cookie holds cone shape, about 15 seconds, then carefully slip off onto a rack to cool completely. Shape remaining cookie in same manner. (If cookies become too brittle to roll onto cone, return baking sheet to oven for a few seconds to soften.) Make and shape more cookies with remaining dough.
• Put 3 small scoops ice cream into each cone and put cones on plates.

PASSION-FRUIT SALAD WITH WHITE-PEPPER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• To make the ice cream, place the yolks in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Place the milk, cream, sugar and pepper in a saucepan and bring just to a boil. Remove from heat and slowly whisk 1/3 of the hot liquid into the yolks. Whisk in the remainder. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve and refrigerate until chilled. Freeze according to the ice-cream maker's instructions.
• To make the fruit salad, combine the puree, water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring just to a boil without stirring. Remove from the heat and cool. Combine the fruits in a large bowl and toss with the cooled fruit syrup. Divide the salad among 6 deep plates, and then top each serving with a scoop of ice cream.

PASSION FRUIT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Mix together the passion fruit pulp and 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the cream in a large bowl. Set a mesh strainer over the bowl.
• Warm the milk, sugar, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup (125 ml) cream in a medium saucepan. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
• Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer and stir it into the passion fruit and cream mixture. Mix in a few drops of orange oil, if using, then stir until cool over an ice bath.
• Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add a spoonful of passion fruit seeds to the custard during the last few minutes of churning, if you wish.
