With a preparation time of just 10 minutes, it takes minimal effort to create a vibrant dessert that is sure to impress at gatherings or provide a sweet respite from the heat.

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh passionfruit pulp (about 8-10 passionfruits)
1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon lime juice
A pinch of salt

Cooking Steps:

Begin by scooping the pulp from the passionfruits, ensuring to separate the seeds. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the pulp through a fine mesh sieve.
In a mixing bowl, combine the passionfruit pulp, coconut milk, sugar, lime juice, and salt. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness with additional sugar or more lime juice as desired.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
To serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes for easier scooping. Serve in bowls or cones and enjoy!

Variations and Tips:

For an extra flavor twist, add in some shredded coconut or a splash of rum before churning.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze it. Stir every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals.
Garnish the sorbet with fresh mint leaves or additional passionfruit seeds for a beautiful presentation.
Consider pairing the sorbet with tropical fruits such as mango or kiwi for a colorful fruit salad.
