Method:

1. First prepare the sorbet syrup. Place the sugar and water in a pan. Heat to boiling point, stirring continuously to dissolve the sugar. Allow to cool.

2. Scoop the flesh out of the passion fruit. Liquidize with the lime juice and water for about 10 seconds. Strain the juice into a freezer container and combine with the sorbet syrup.

3. Place the freezer container in the freezer and freeze for 2-3 hours or until almost solid.

4. Whisk the egg white and caster sugar until stiff. Remove the sorbet from the freezer and beat in the egg white. Return the sorbet to the freezer for 1-2 hours or until set.

5. If the sorbet has been in the freezer for 24 hours or longer, transfer to the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
