Ingredients
- 500 grams Ripe paw paw pulp
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 240 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Once the syrup is cool, blend the paw paw pulp in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once the sorbet has set, scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your tropical homemade Paw Paw Sorbet!
