Cherimoya is often called the custard apple, and one spoonful of its flesh explains why. Blended with nectarine and banana, it makes a smoothie that is creamy without any dairy.

Cherimoya Nectarine Smoothie with Mint
Creamy and custard-soft, with tropical sweetness, stone-fruit perfume and a cool mint finish.
Cherimoya comes originally from the Andean valleys of South America and is now grown in Spain and other subtropical regions. Its white flesh is soft and custard-like, with a sweet flavor that recalls banana, pineapple and pear. Its large black seeds must be removed completely, as they are not edible.
In this smoothie, nectarine adds perfume and a little acidity, banana more body, and mint a cool, fresh finish. A cherimoya is ripe when the green skin yields slightly to pressure, similar to an avocado. It suits a relaxed weekend breakfast.
Sweet and creamy, often described as a mix of banana, pineapple and pear.
No. Remove all seeds before blending.
