Ingredients

  • 220 g passion fruit puree - 1
  • 50 g sugar - 2
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup - 3
  • 225 ml single cream - 5
  • ½ lime, juice & zest

Instructions

  • Prepare the tub – Add all the ingredients to the Creami tub.
    Gently whizz with a stick blender. the mixture is quite thin, so it is wasy to whizz it out of the tub.
    Alternatively, put the tub into the Creami and spin on the milkshake setting. I find the mixture can spill out of the tub, so add about two thirds of the cream, and stir the rest in after processing to prevent mess.
    The syrup can sink to the bottom of the container so check it has been mixed in.
    Freeze until solid; this can take overnight or up to 24 hours depending on your freezer.

  • Check for humps - If the passion fruit mixture has developed a hump or bump in the middle scrape with a spoon so it is flat.
    Do not spin a mixture that has a large hump, without flattening it first. You may damage your machine.
  • Process - Put the container in the machine and spin – with the regular Creami (the NC300) I have found that the light ice cream cycle gives the best results.
    This recipe is unlikely to need a respin, but if needed respin.

Notes

  1. Passion Fruit Cocktail Puree - Which contains only passion fruit and sugar. Not cordial or syrup.  Leftover puree can be stored in the fridge for just over a week or frozen. 
  2. Sugar - I usually use golden caster
  3. Maple Syrup - adds sweetness, flavour and improves the texture of the final ice cream.  You can also use honey or golden syrup.
  4. Lime - To extract the most juice roll the whole lime on the work top under the heel of your hand exerting a gentle pressure.  
  5. Cream – British single cream (18% fat). Or you can use a mixture of two parts semi skimmed milk to one part double cream (48% fat). This mixture has almost the same fat content.  This will be 150ml milk and 75ml double cream.  I nearly always weigh the cream and milk using 1ml = 1g as a guide, the recipe will still work perfectly. 
Hints and Tips
  • This recipe is for the regular NC300 Ninja Creami, with (American) pint pots.  For the Deluxe model use 1.5X the ingredients.  
  • Make sure the mixture is completely frozen before processing. 
  • Once spun this recipe can generally be scooped straight form the freezer without reprocessing. However smooth before returning to the freezer in case it needs to be spun again.
