Servings 6 servings
Equipment
- Ice cream maker
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ½ cups lilikoi fruit juice, unsweetened (passion fruit)
Instructions
- Add sugar and water to a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow it to simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Do not use high heat - or boil the mixture - as you risk scorching the sugar.
- Remove the mixture from the heat, and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Then stir in the lilikoi juice.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours - or even better, overnight.
- Place the container you plan on storing the finished sorbet in, into the freezer. This way, it is ice-cold when you add the finished sorbet to the container and won't melt the sorbet.
- After the mixture has completely chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions. As a guide, I run my ice cream maker for 20-25 minutes. The sorbet should be thick and fluffy but not watery.
- Add the sorbet to the chilled container, and freeze for one to two hours before serving to allow the sorbet to firm up.
