Passionfruit Icecream

Just look at these beautiful big passionfruit....perfect for making icecream.

                          
These were growing on Tiff's vine, the one that almost covers her chook yard.
There is so much fruit on that vine that no one was even bothering to collect it.
No one that is except me!
I made a batch for the family while we were there and brought these home to make some for us.
It's so easy.
Here's how-  600 ml cream and  1 cup sugar whipped 'til thick and the sugar has dissolved.
                     Beat in 2 cups milk, the zest and juice of a lemon and  1/2 cup Passionfruit pulp (or a can)
                     Freeze then eat. Yum!

You can also use 2 lemons and leave out the passionfruit for a lovely tangy adult icecream.

What a shame I had to eat the bowl I'd served out to photograph....Poor me!

Not into passionfruit (I know-unAustralian) but the lemon sounds delish, will have to try that out, just to please you of course ;o)

Will have to keep this recipe until my vine gets fruit. It is only a baby at the moment but it wont take long. Hugs Bec
