Instructions

  1. Open the soursops, remove the white pulp and carefully take out all the black seeds.
  2. Blend the pulp with the lime juice until you get a smooth purée.
  3. In a saucepan, heat the milk with the sugar and the pinch of salt until the sugar has fully dissolved, without boiling.
  4. Let it cool slightly, then add the cream and the vanilla if using.
  5. Mix the soursop purée into the milky mixture and whisk well.
  6. Pour into a suitable container and place in the freezer for about 1 hour.
  7. Whisk vigorously, then return to the freezer. Repeat two or three times, at one-hour intervals, until creamy.
  8. Take the ice cream out 10 minutes before serving.

Variations and tips

Light version. Replace the cream with 200 ml of extra milk and add 1 tablespoon of cornflour when heating the milk to keep it soft and smooth.

Using what's easy to find. Frozen soursop pulp is sold in Caribbean grocery shops; thaw it before blending.
