Heart-shaped in appearance, their skins can range in color from light to yellowish-green to dark green, and they can be either smooth or slightly knobby. Beneath their unassuming exteriors, their ivory-colored flesh is tender, creamy and succulent. Ripe fruit opens easily by hand, and has an intensely honeyed and floral aroma. The flesh of ripe cherimoya has a candy-like sweetness, with notes of tropical fruits and strawberries.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherimoyas are also called custard apples, and they are celebrated for being “nature’s custard” – creamy and delightfully sweet.
