This Lemon and Passionfruit Gelato was created as I go along with the fruits I have in my fridge. I made the base using the basic gelato recipe.
I've chilled the custard mixture in the fridge which helped churning faster! I removed the chilled custard from the fridge and added in the pulp of 3 crinkled passionfruits which is actually not enough to make a full passionfruit gelato. I reckon 7 - 8 passionfruits are needed. I tasted the custard and it's wayyy tooo heavy. The cream taste is too strong. I rummaged in the fridge and found one last lemon and decided to use this. Grated in the zest and pour in the juice of half the lemon. Hmmm still tasted very heavy... see never ever make anything unplanned :p
So I squeezed in the other half lemon and tasted with my fingers crossed. Woohoo finally over came the creaminess taste. Thank goodness the half lemon did save the day, otherwise I'll be stumped! Can't possibily go out and grab anything since it was already way past 10pm when I made this LOL!
Pour custard into ice-cream maker and churn till a thick consistency before chucking into the freezer. The gelato turned out to be fabulous! Tested with the Persimmon and Apple Crumble and surprise surpise they actually went well together ;-)
What I did was to use the yolks to make cabonara.
ReplyDeleteSo, it is always fettuccine cabonara as entre with pavlova cupcake as desert :)
Nice gelato.
Still looks good and tempting though. Can I have a scoop? Pretty please with cherry on top
ReplyDeleteOoh this looks perfect for the hot and sunny weather we been having lately... I can never make up my mind which sorta gelato I prefer - the richer, chocolatey, nutty types or the refreshing, fruity variety...
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll have the latter during the scorching day and the former during the chilled-out evenings? (Just need an excuse to have more gelato, haha!)
yerr..looks so good~ can i have 1 please..
ReplyDeleteIt's 37C here and just looking at your ice cream makes me melt! Esp since you say LEMON AND PASSIONFRUIT! How refreshing!
ReplyDeleteBravo! Even making your own gelato, I have not venture into making ice-cream, gelato and sherbet yet.

LCOM, you should, you can get very very creative with them and they're not that difficult
Your kid (still one?) is really lucky to have you as a Mum!
ReplyDeleteHome-made gelato now? Will you venture into making your own sausages one day?
My boy loves sausage rolls that I'm thinking of making my own using high quality sausages (if they exist).
I cringe thinking of all the nitrates etc he's chomping down...
we have for years not touched something called gelato, maybe we should afterwards go find one ( or 2)
