6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient

400 millilitres Custard apple flesh
200 millilitres Cream
100 grams Caster sugar

Directions

Delicate in flavour, this ice-cream originates in the Caribbean. It could hardly be simpler to make.

Puree 400 mL of custard apple flesh (you will need 2 medium to large custard apples). Add 200 mL cream and 100 g caster sugar Stir well then stir again from time to time until the sugar has dissolved. Pour into an ice-cream maker and freeze. Or if you don't own this appliance, pour the mixture into a metal freezing tray(s) and freeze, stirring with a fork from time to time as an icy mush forms at the edges.

When the whole mixture is a mush remove from the fridge, beat well and freeze again until required. Soften in the body of the fridge for 15-20 minutes before serving.
