Homemade passion fruit ice cream is a perfect tropical treat to enjoy this summer. This easy-to-make no cook ice cream recipe is made with no eggs and is gluten-free. I have made the recipe with frozen passion fruit cubes.
Making ice cream at home gives you control over the ingredients. Also, an ice cream maker makes the entire process very easy and you can enjoy homemade ice cream as and when you like.
This passion fruit ice cream recipe is a creamy, refreshing, tangy, and pleasant dessert to make for parties, potlucks, or just to try out a different ice cream flavor.
Ingredients
Making ice cream at home can sound daunting but it is really easy and also takes only a few ingredients than store-bought ones. And the best part is you have control over the quality of the ingredients you use.
This no-cook, no-egg passion fruit ice cream is made mainly with only 4 ingredients. Frozen passion fruit is easily available in the freezer section in the grocery stores. If you can find fresh passion fruit, you can use it instead. Heavy whipping cream, whole milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt are all you need.
Instructions
It is really easy to make this homemade passion fruit ice cream recipe at home in an ice cream maker.
Blend the frozen passion fruit cubes, sugar, milk, and a pinch of salt in a high speed blender like Vitamix and make a smooth puree. Pour the ice cream mixture into a medium bowl and add heavy cream to it and mix it with a spatula or a spoon. There is no need to blend the cream.
Since you use frozen fruit cubes, the mixture is cold enough and there is no need to chill the mixture in the fridge. Churn the mixture in the ice cream machine for about 25 minutes or as per the manufacturer's instructions.
The passion fruit ice cream will be of soft-serve consistency once the ice cream machine cycle ends. You can enjoy it as is or transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for 5-6 hours before serving.
Substitutions
If you can find fresh passion fruit, you can make this passion fruit ice cream with fresh fruit. Scoop the fruit pulp and filter out the passion fruit seeds with the help of a mesh strainer.
It is best to use whole milk for a nice creamy texture, however, if you are running out of it or want to use low-fat milk then you can use it. In that case, the ice cream will be less creamy and it can take longer to churn as well.
Serving suggestions
Passion fruit ice cream is full of flavor, it is sweet and slightly tangy. It can be enjoyed as is in a bowl, sugar cone, or waffle cone. You can also top it with fresh passion fruit puree while serving. It is also a perfect ice cream to add to the banana split sundae.
Equipment
An ice cream maker makes the entire process of making ice cream at home a breeze. I have made this passion fruit ice cream in a Cuisinart ICE 100 ice cream maker. It has a compressor in it so there is no need to freeze the bowl for 24 hours before churning the ice cream.
If you have an ice cream maker with a freezer bowl then you will need to freeze it for 24 hours prior to making this ice cream.

Storage
Homemade passion fruit ice cream can be stored in an air-tight container for about a month. It is sweet, tangy, and full of flavor, and will be gone in just a few days 🙂
Top tip
- Blend the fruit well into a smooth puree to avoid any hard chunks in the ice cream.
- If you are using a compressor ice cream maker then chill the bowl in the machine for about 5 minutes before pouring the mixture into it. This will reduce the overall churning time.
