The custard apple is one of the most unusual and rewarding fruits on the shelf. Knobbly green skin, creamy white flesh, and a flavour that is genuinely custard-like, sweet and vani lla-scented in a way that takes most people completely by surprise. If you have never tried one, it is well worth the experience.Custard apples are at their best in late summer and autumn, typically from February through June, when Australian crops from Queensland and northern New South Wales are at their sweetest and most abundantly available.Look for custard apples that yield slightly to gentle pressure all over. Firm, unyielding fruit needs more time to ripen. Leave it on the bench at room temperature until it gives when pressed, then refrigerate and eat within a day or two. The skin will darken as it ripens, which is completely normal.Halve, remove the large seeds, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Eat fresh, blend into a smoothie, fold through yoghurt, or use as a base for a dessert mousse or ice cream. Show more
