Cherimoya Lime Custard
Have you ever eaten a cherimoya? I just found this delightful fruit at Safeway the other day and couldn't help but pick one up. I wasn't even sure what it was since I had never seen one before - I actually thought I was buying a vegetable but turns out it was sweet!
Ingredients
- 1 ripe cherimoya, peeled, deseeded and cubed
- 2/3 cup cottage cheese (for dairy-free, use plain coconut or soy yogurt)
- drizzle of unsweetened vanilla almond milk or other non-dairy milk (about 2 Tbsp)
- juice from 1/2 lime
- 1/2 tsp lime zest (use organic limes if you are using the zest)
- shredded coconut, optional for garnish
Instructions
- In a small food processor or high powered blender, puree the cherimoya and the cottage cheese/yogurt until smooth. To help this along, drizzle a bit of the non-dairy milk as needed (if using yogurt, this might not be necessary).
- Stir in the lime juice until combined. Pour into two serving vessels, sprinkle with lime zest and coconut (if desired) and serve!
