Notes
- A good sorbet relies on the quality of the fruit, so choose custard apples which are in season and very ripe, for both flavour and sweetness.
- The easiest way to remove the flesh of a custard apple is to cut it in half, or pull apart by hand, and spoon out the flesh discarding the black seeds.
- Custard apples and ginger is a wonderful combination, but you could substitute ginger cookies for coconut or vanilla/milk cookies.
- Keep in an airtight container and freeze for up to a week for best flavour.
