Nieve, or "snow," is Mexico's sorbet, sold from carts throughout the country. Ours is a quick version, made with passion-fruit nectar instead of puréed and strained fruit. For the best flavor, look for a nectar that contains just water, passion-fruit juice, and sugar.

Cooks' note:

Sorbet keeps, frozen, 1 week.
