Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

300 grams (10.5 ounces) passion fruit puree (or currant, raspberry, cherry)
10 grams (0.4 ounces) dry milk (26%)
70 grams (2.5 ounces) sugar
30 grams (1 ounce) honey
8 grams (0.3 ounces) yellow pectin (apple or citrus)

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Ice Cream Base

Begin by mixing the sugar and pectin together in a bowl. Add the warm puree of passion fruit, stirring well to combine.

Next, incorporate the dry milk and honey, blending until fully mixed. Heat this mixture gently until it reaches a boil, then simmer for 1-2 minutes before removing it from the heat.

Pour the mixture into a wide baking dish, cover with plastic wrap, and let it cool in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

Step 2

Freeze the Ice Cream

Once the mixture is cooled, carefully pour it into silicone molds. Place them in the freezer and let them harden for at least 10-12 hours.

After freezing, remove the ice cream from the molds and set them aside for glazing.

Step 3

Make the Gourmet Glaze

In a heatproof bowl, combine the milk chocolate and vegetable oil. Melt the mixture over a double boiler until it reaches approximately 45°C (113°F).

Using a blender, blend the mixture until smooth. Then, gently fold in the chopped nuts using a spatula to combine thoroughly.

Step 4

Glaze the Ice Cream

With the glaze ready, dip each frozen ice cream into the chocolate mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Let any excess drip off before placing them on a wire rack to set.

Once glazed, enjoy your homemade ice cream as a refreshing treat!

Faq

  • What if I don't have pectin? Can I still make this ice cream?

    Yes! Pectin helps with texture but can be omitted if you let the mixture thaw slightly before serving. You may want to use cornstarch as a thickening agent instead!

  • How do I know when my ice cream is ready to eat?

    The ice cream is ready once fully set and firm to the touch, typically after about 10-12 hours in the freezer. You can also give it a poke to check the consistency!

  • Can I use fresh fruit instead of puree?

    Absolutely! Fresh fruit can work, but you may need to blend and strain it to achieve that smooth, creamy texture. Make sure to adjust sugar based on the sweetness of the fresh fruit.

  • Can I add flavors or spices to the mixture?

    Of course! Feel free to get creative with add-ins like vanilla extract, cinnamon, or even a splash of rum for an adult twist! Just enhance the flavor to your liking!

  • What's the best way to store leftover ice cream?

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. It’s best enjoyed within a few weeks to maintain its flavor and texture!

  • Can I make these ice cream bars in advance for a party?

    Definitely! They keep well in the freezer, so prepare them a day or two in advance for convenience at your gathering!
