Homemade ice cream doesn’t need to be difficult! This recipe for no churn ice cream is amazing and very fresh!

The classic ice cream is amazing, made with Crème Anglaise, but it can be a little challenging and we’ll need a ice cream machine.

This recipe doesn’t require a machine and it’s very easy. For the base, it uses sweetened condensed milk and yogurt. And no, isn’t so sweet because the passion fruit cuts through.

Why No Churn Ice Cream Work?

The passion fruit is sour and has acidity, it interacts with the milk solids (proteins). Then, the mixture changes texture.
It won’t be so sweet because the sourness cuts through and yogurt helps to add creaminess, but not sweetness.
For the aeration, it uses whipped heavy cream until chantilly, so the overrun is added.

Ingredients

3 sour passion fruit (about 530g)
150 g heavy cream
170 g plain yogurt
395 g sweetened condensed milk (1 can (14 ounces))

I always recommend using weight and volume measurements when present. The measurements in cups/spoons are just courtesy of the system and are less accurate.

Instructions

Remove the passion fruit pulp and place in a microwave safe proof bowl.
Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds, it can be made in a medium sauce pan over medium heat.
Strain the pulp, it should yield a little more than 140mL. For the recipe, it needs 140mL strained pulp. If you want, rinse and save the seeds for garnish. Let it cool.
Beat cream until soft peaks, similar chantilly. Set aside.
Mix condensed milk, yogurt, passion fruit pulp in a bowl until combine. The mixture will thicken.
Mix in the whipped cream and passion fruit seeds (if desire), stir until combine.
Pour in a airtight container and freeze for 4 hours. Ideally: overnight.
Remove from the freezer 5 minutes before serving, it will be a little firm.

Notes

Passion fruit: if you can find passion fruit, you can use frozen pulp or concentrated juice. I don’t recommend the sweet passion fruit (normally it’s purple skin), it won’t be sour enough.
