Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Ripe sapodilla (chikoo) fruit
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Peel the sapodilla fruit, remove the seeds, and scoop out the pulp. You should have approximately 1 cup of sapodilla pulp. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). Do not let the mixture boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a blender, combine the sapodilla pulp, the cooled cream mixture, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the blended mixture into a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl to strain out any remaining fibrous bits, ensuring a silky-smooth texture.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 20-25 minutes) until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 3 hours to firm up before serving.
Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the tropical delight!
