Good evening folks! Blake is searching for help in making his first paw paw puree in order to create ice cream. Just had trouble removing seeds after I used the blender. Is there any way to make the puree mixed with seeds and getting them out after I used the blender? And how we freeze the puree without an ice cube box?
Please shoot me back if you all need me. Good night!

Ok, so I don't use a blender, I use a food processor with a plastic dough blade. This way the seeds stay mostly intact. After the food processor I put the whole mess thru a large sieve. Seeds are large enough to remain blocked and the puree can be pushed thru. I reuse small random plastic containers that will hold at least a cup of puree. Freeze everybody solid and then pop out the pawpaw pucks into a ziplock type bag thus freeing up the other containers.

Hope this helps!

Hi Blake, for removing seeds, I use a Mouli food mill.  Usually for things like boysenberries, or tomatoes - and as I remember paw-paw seeds are a bit bigger.  
Might be easier to peel and halve the fruits, scoop out seeds with a spoon and then put the flesh through the blender.  If you know how much you need per batch of icecream (?or sorbet?) then follow Laura's directions for freezing.  Mmm, I can taste it already
