Cherimoya

Also known as Custard Apple. American author Mark Twain called the cherimoya "deliciousness itself." Since it looks like a shrink-wrapped artichoke, most folks wouldn't suspect that the white, pudding-like flesh has flavor like tutti-frutti ice cream. Try another bite, and you'll discover this deeply flavorful fruit also has a spicy, vanilla-custard undertone. Use it in chiffon pies, smoothies, salsas, soups or tropical daiquiris. Or simply slice in half, spoon out the big black seeds, and scoop up the fruit.
