Maracuja coulis (passion fruit) for ninja creami ice cream
Want to add an exotic touch to your ice cream? Passion fruit, or maracuja, is the star of tropical fruits with its tangy and sweet flavor that awakens the taste buds. This coulis is perfect for topping homemade ice cream made with Ninja Creami. Plus, its beautiful bright yellow color and slightly grainy texture make it an irresistible addition to your frozen creations!
Ingredients :
- 4 maracujas (passion fruit)
- 50g of sugar (or adjust according to your preferred sweetness)
- 50 ml of water
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional, for a tangy boost)
Preparation :
- Prepare the passion fruit.
Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp with a spoon. The texture might seem strange if you've never worked with it before, but trust me, it's an explosion of flavor with every spoonful. Don't throw away the little seeds; they add a nice crunch to the coulis. - Cooking the coulis:
Put the passion fruit pulp in a small saucepan with the water and sugar. Heat over low heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. If you want a slightly less acidic coulis, you can add a little more sugar, but I love the contrast between sweet and tart. If you want an even more intense flavor, add a touch of lemon juice! - Blend or not?
If you prefer a smooth coulis, you can blend the mixture and strain it through a sieve to remove the seeds. Personally, I love keeping the seeds for that little crunchy texture that adds a unique touch to the coulis. It's up to you! - Let it cool.
Once the coulis has thickened and the flavors have developed, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. This coulis will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for a good week (if you don't finish it before then!).
My Personal Tip:
This passion fruit coulis is absolutely perfect for topping vanilla ice cream or mango sorbet made with the Ninja Creami. If you really want to emphasize the tropical flavor, try it on coconut ice cream or pineapple sorbet—it's pure bliss! And for an even more fun touch, you can even use it to swirl your frozen creations before churning them in the Ninja Creami.
Here's a simple way to add an exotic touch to your frozen desserts with this passion fruit coulis. Its intense flavor and unique texture will transform your Ninja Creami ice creams into true tropical masterpieces, perfect for a taste adventure without leaving home!
