Melissa’s Produce is sponsoring today’s post. In exchange for sharing this unique #FreakyFruitsFriday recipe, I received an extremely large box filled with miscellaneous freaky fruit. All thoughts, ideas, recipes, pictures, and general silliness contained within this post are solely my own and not necessarily that of the sponsor. CLICK HERE to learn more about Melissa’s Produce.

This amazingly flavorful frozen custard is perfectly sweet with just the right amount of tartness thanks to the passion fruit it contains. The small black passion fruit seeds mixed in also help to create a lovely crunchy texture as you take each bite. If you haven’t tried fresh passion fruit before, this is one way I think you’ll really enjoy it.

I keep trying to convince B.O.B. Bob that I have not been shopping online, however, boxes just keep on showing up at my front doorstep that make him think I’m a big ol’ fat liar. Y’all, I swear that I’ve been being good. I even went one whole month without shopping on Amazon and that’s pretty much a miracle as far as I’m concerned. No books, no CDs, no cat medicine, and certainly no fun Halloween display items; I’m telling y’all, it’s a miracle. I’m concerned that I may have been responsible for a few delivery men losing their jobs.

So what exactly is in all of these boxes that keep on showing up at my doorstep? Well, as of recently, sprinkles, vanilla, peppermint extract, asparagus, sliced ham, chocolate, and the biggest box of freaky fruit you’ve ever seen. Yes, freaky fruit. Melissa’s Produce generously sent me and a few other bloggers a gigantic box filled to the brim with dragon fruits, strawberry papayas, blood oranges, cherimoyas, kiwano horned melons, rambutans, and passion fruits to create original delicious freaky fruit recipes with.

Thankfully, after I convinced B.O.B. Bob that I did not in fact order all of this fruit myself and that it was sent for me to create recipes with for #FreakyFruitsFriday in October, he chilled out a bit. Honestly, I think he was a little worried that my online shopping had taken a turn for the worse and that we would now be getting perishables shipped to our front door on a weekly basis. While I can’t promise that won’t happen at some point in the near future, this time around, I was completely innocent.

When I first opened the box, I’ll admit that I was a little overwhelmed, especially since I had never tried most of the fruit that was inside. That’s probably why I reached for the passion fruits first. While I had never actually worked with whole passion fruit before, I knew exactly what it tasted like, because I spent our entire trip in Hawaii several years ago ordering just about anything on the menu that had it in it. If you’ve never had passion fruit before, it’s tart, slightly sweet, and tastes like absolute heaven. And, it makes what I think is the most amazing frozen custard flavor ever.

Passion fruit also contains tiny black seeds which are entirely edible and have a really great texture. B.O.B. Bob can tell you this because he spent several evenings claiming how different it was to be eating frozen custard with seeds in it. I had to reassure him several times that they were entirely edible and I wasn’t trying to trick him. Considering he pretty much polished off the whole container of frozen custard by himself, I think it’s fairly safe to say that he is now a passion fruit fan. Thank goodness, that’s one shipment I won’t have to make an excuse for in the future.

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream, Divided
• 1 Cup Whole Milk
• 2/3 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 1/4 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 6 Egg Yolks, Room Temperature
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
• 4 to 6 Passion Fruits

Directions:

1. Place 1 cup of the heavy whipping cream into a medium saucepan along with the milk, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly add a cup of the warm cream and milk mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly. Then, slowly pour the egg and cream mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly.
3. Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook for 8 minutes, stirring constantly, or until the mixture is thick and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
4. Place the other 1 cup of heavy whipping cream into a large heat-safe glass bowl with the vanilla. Place a strainer over the bowl and then pour in the warm custard mixture. Whisk until well combined.
5. Cut each passion fruit in half with a serrated knife and use a spoon to scoop out the inside pulp and seeds. Whisk the pulp and seeds into the strained custard mixture until well combined.
6. Allow the custard to cool before tightly covering and refrigerating.
7. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
8. Churn the frozen custard in an ice cream machine for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the desired ice cream consistency is reached. Spoon into an ice cream container and freeze immediately.

Suggestions:

• Stirring is important in this recipe. If you don’t stir the custard mixture constantly it may scorch or burn. Also, this is not a recipe you want to rush. Keep the temperature on medium.
• Straining the warm custard mixture ensures that you won’t have any cooked egg bits in your frozen custard. That’s also why you slowly add a little bit of warm cream mixture to the whisked eggs before adding them back into the saucepan. Using room-temperature egg yolks helps with this process as well.
• Adding the second cup of heavy whipping cream to the custard mixture after it cooks, helps to cool it down faster.
• You can use four to six passion fruits in this recipe. Four will yield a mild flavor and six will yield a strong and slightly tart flavor.

Improvements:

• Add very finely chopped chocolate to the frozen custard or serve drizzled with warm chocolate sauce.
• If you don’t feel like taking the time or effort to make a frozen custard, make ice cream instead. Place the heavy whipping cream, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla into a blender. Blend for 2 minutes, stir in the pulp and seeds from the passion fruits, and then churn in an ice cream machine.
• If you’d like to try passion fruit but can’t find it in a store near you, consider ordering it from Melissa’s Produce.
