Cherimoya

Cherimoya is also known as "Custard Apple." Its flesh is creamy white and has large black seeds. Its custard-like texture tastes like a combination of pineapple, papaya, mango and vanilla custard making it a wonderful dessert fruit. Serve chilled and eat by simply slicing in half or into portions, removing the seeds, and scooping the flesh out with a spoon. Ripen at room temperature until yellow-green and slightly soft. Once ripe, cherimoya can be stored well-wrapped in the refrigerator.
