Ingredients

  • 1 sugar apple
  • 2 cups milk or non-dairy milk (see note)
  • 1 cup ice ice cubes or crushed ice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional

Instructions

  • Place the sugar apple on a cutting board. Rinse with water and pat dry. Then pull apart with your fingers or pry apart with a dull knife.
  • Carefully scoop out the custard-like flesh with a spoon, separating the dark seeds and discarding them as you go (see note).
  • To a blender, add the flesh along with the milk and ice.
  • Blend for 5-10 seconds until smooth.
  • Pour into serving glasses and garnish with a pinch of cinnamon if desired.

Notes

  • Make it Vegan: To make this smoothie vegan, use a non-dairy milk such as unsweetened almond milk, soy milk or oat milk.
  • Seeds: The seeds have poisonous properties, just like cherry pits and lychee seeds. Take care to remove them all during preparation and discard.
