Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ripe paw paw pulp
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 240 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Cut the ripe paw paw in half, remove the seeds, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Measure out 500 grams of paw paw pulp and set it aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. This will form a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Once the syrup is cool, blend the paw paw pulp in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy.
Add the simple syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to the blender with the paw paw puree. Blend again until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20–25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a thick and creamy consistency. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Freeze for 3-4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals and keep it smooth.
Once the sorbet has set, scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your tropical homemade Paw Paw Sorbet!
