Easy No Churn Passionfruit & Limoncello Ice Cream
An original recipe by Not Quite Nigella
-
2/3 cup icing sugar
-
2/3 cup limoncello
-
600ml cream
-
1 cup passionfruit curd*
-
Passionfruit pulp to serve (optional)
*you can buy passionfruit curd or you can make it using the recipe below
Step 1 - In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment add the icing sugar and the limoncello and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the cream and whip it all until soft peaks form.
Step 2 - Place 1/3 of this whipped cream mixture into a freezer proof container and then dollop over 1/3 of the passionfruit curd. Alternate the cream and the curd spreading it so (you want a ribbon effect). You can spoon some passionfruit pulp on top just so anyone curiously sniffing around the freezer will know what flavour you've made. Freeze overnight or until frozen-it is very light so it won't take that long to freeze.
Home-made passionfruit curd
-
3 eggs
-
2/3 cup caster sugar
-
1/2 cup passionfruit pulp
-
80grams butter
Step 1 - Over a double boiler, place the eggs, sugar, passionfruit and butter and stir over a pan of simmering water and whisk until light. Keep stirring for about 10 minutes until thickened. It will thicken even further on standing once chilled. the curd can also be done in the microwave on a 50% power setting for 6-8 minutes. Stop the microwave every minute to stir the mixture. Cool completely and chill in the refrigerator before using in the ice cream.
