Despite its unassuming appearance, this "ugly duckling" of the custard family boasts a unique, sweet, and creamy flavor likened to a diverse array of cheesecakes.
Its captivating exterior, ranging from smooth red to purple skin, encloses a white to deep red, custard-like flesh that promises a refreshing and mildly sweet taste. Perfect for eating fresh, the Custard Apple also shines in desserts and homemade ice cream creations.

Custard Apple Pro Tips
Custard Apples are shipped just before peak ripeness and may take 3-7 days at room temperature to achieve peak ripeness. They are best enjoyed when soft to the touch. The skin's color may darken as it ripens, but this doesn't affect the delicious, creamy flesh inside. Open it up, remove the seeds, and savor the tropical flavor.
