custard apple
Creamy tropical fruit
Custard apple refers to several tropical fruits with sweet, creamy flesh that suggests custard.
The term most often names the cherimoya or its relatives in the Annona family—fruits with scaly green skin and soft, fragrant pulp surrounding dark seeds.
The custard apple was so ripe it practically melted on my tongue.
