- 4 ripe cherimoyas seeds removed and flesh scooped out
- 1 cup coconut cream from the top of a chilled can (chill in the fridge overnight or for several hours prior)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Cut open the cherimoyas, remove all seeds, and scoop out the creamy flesh.
Add the cherimoya, coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender such as a Vitamix.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.
Pour the mixture into silicone ice cube trays and freeze for several hours or overnight.
Once fully frozen, pop the cubes out and return them to the blender.
Blend again until thick and smooth, adding a splash of dairy-free milk only if needed to help it blend.
Serve immediately as a soft-serve custard, or freeze again for a firmer texture.
