Custard apples have a bumpy, greenish or red-purple skin, depending on the variety. They have a luscious, custard-like pulp inside, speckled with dark seeds. The texture is smooth and velvety, with a flavour reminiscent of a blend of vanilla, banana, and pear. They are a sweet treat that can be enjoyed as is or used to create desserts like smoothies, ice creams, and puddings.
