Sitaphal Cream
Sitaphal Cream (Custard Apple Cream) is a refreshing dessert prepared with a handful of ingredients.
‘Sitaphal’ in Hindi means ‘Custard Apple’. The fruit is native to Mexico, Peru, India, Central America, and Lebanon. Custard apple is a sweet and delicious fruit that grows on small trees, it has a creamy flesh, and is good for the immune system! There are inedible black seeds which need to be removed before eating. It is custard-like, creamy coloured, fragrant and soft flesh. Being from Mumbai, this was my ‘to go to’ recipe during the sitaphal season.
This simple 10-minute recipe is perfect for a light dessert. The recipe is very simple to prepare, but the only time-consuming part here is separating the seeds from the fruit. You can remove each seed individually by hand, but I prefer to quickly pulse the custard apple for 10 seconds in a blender for quick deseeding.

Roughly chop up the fruit into pieces and roughly blend it for 10 seconds. Remove the seeds with a spoon.

Whisk the cream and sugar to a fluffy soft peak. It will take around 5-8 minutes to achieve that consistency. Be careful not to over whip.
