Ingredients

6 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar
4 teaspoons freshly ground white pepper
1 1/2 cups passion-fruit puree (see note)
1 cup water
7 tablespoons sugar
1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into bite-size wedges
3 kiwis, peeled and cut into 8 wedges each
2 bananas, peeled and thinly sliced
3 passion fruits, halved, flesh scooped out (if unavailable, substitute 1 mango, peeled and pitted)
3 plums, diced

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.
