Cut the kiwifruit in half and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Puree the kiwifruit in a blender or food processor until smooth. If desired, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool; this creates a simple syrup.
In a mixing bowl, combine the kiwifruit puree, passion fruit pulp, simple syrup, lemon juice, corn syrup, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lemon juice, if necessary.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually around 20–25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned sorbet into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping. Serve in bowls or on cones and enjoy!
