Frozen Passion Fruit Sorbet Cups

These passion fruit sorbet cups use hollowed passion fruits as the shell for a tart, tropical sorbet. The milk in the base softens the acidity a little while keeping the dessert light.

Sorbet Base

The sorbet is made with passion fruit pulp, reserved passion fruit flesh, water, sugar, glucose powder, super neutrose, and milk. The stabilizers help the mixture stay smoother after churning and freezing.

Keeping some of the seeds in the mixture adds texture and keeps the fruit character more obvious.

Frozen Shells

Freezing the passion fruit shells before filling helps them stay firm during piping and slows melting once served.

Serving Notes

These sorbet cups work well for warm-weather desserts and can be made ahead. Pipe the sorbet into the frozen shells and return them to the freezer if needed before serving.

Tips

Use ripe passion fruits with good aroma
Freeze the shells upright
Let the sorbet sit briefly if it becomes too firm to pipe
