In this recipe, we’re pairing cherimoya with another one of our favorite fruits, the caviar lime. Here, the unique natural creaminess of cherimoya flesh is highlighted with a touch of lime for tart sweetness.

Once you make this limey cherimoya custard pudding, you’ll see that it’s a recipe that you can easily adjust to suit your preferences. Not into coconut?
