First time making ice cream, I made yellow passion fruit ice cream

I got a Whytner ICM-200LS second-hand from a chef I worked with when he moved and couldn’t take it. I’ve been watching the hell out of Polar Ice Creamery’s videos before I gave this a shot.

The recipe is:

200g Boiron yellow passion fruit puree
125g white sugar
55g Karo corn syrup
195g lactose free whole milk
386g whipping cream (33% fat)
30g skim milk powder
1.2g xanthan gum
A pinch of salt

I kinda fudged around when I was making it, added some stuff in the wrong order and such, and I did a cold process rather than heating anything. I mixed al the dairy stuff (including the milk powder) together and whisked it in a bowl.

Then, because I’m an idiot who does things the hard way, I poured the corn syrup into the bowl I had mixed the sugar, salt, and xanthan gum into, creating an absolute mess of things. The sugar and syrup created like rock candy in the bowl. Rather than give up, I just poured the passion fruit puree into the sugar mixture and whisked it with a tiny whisk until it was as incorporated as I could get it, scraping the sides as much as possible to get the crystallized sugar off the sides.

Then, I whisked the milk mixture a bit more and, extremely slowly, I poured in the passion fruit mixture, because I was worried it would curdle since passion fruit is so damn acidic (but I wondered if adding the salt and sugar might have helped tame the acidity a bit and if I might have made a lucky mistake). Whatever the case, it worked out perfectly and formed this nice luscious passion fruit flavored whipped cream kinda consistency on top.

Figuring that was good enough, I popped it into the fridge for an hour and a half, then churned it for around 30 minutes. After four hours in the fridge it’s fricikin delicious. I can’t even accurately describe the flavor, the way the passion fruit’s tangyness almost brings out the buttery flavor of the cream, it’s so weird and awesome. 9/10 easily.
