Black Sapote Ice Cream

Submitted by Missy Wombat

"Black sapote aka chocolate pudding fruit. This is divine! In Australia, black sapotes are usually in season in May and they are well worth looking out for. You use them when they are black and disgusting looking and start to look rotten. Unripe sapotes usually take about 4 days to ripen up. Do not attempt this recipe with a half ripe sapote. It will give you the runs."
