Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Open the soursops, scoop out the flesh and remove the black seeds, then blend the flesh into a purée.
  2. Heat the milk with the vanilla in a saucepan until just steaming.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and cornflour until smooth.
  4. Gradually pour the hot milk onto the mixture while whisking, then return everything to the saucepan.
  5. Cook over low heat, stirring, until thickened, without letting it boil, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in the soursop purée, let it cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Variations and tips

Frozen version. Pour the cooled cream into an ice cream maker, or into the freezer stirring every 30 minutes, for a smooth ice cream.

What you can find locally. Frozen soursop purée is sold in exotic grocery shops; otherwise use guava or pineapple purée.
