- 1 Sharp Knife
- 1 Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 ripe cherimoya
Instructions
- Remove the stem from the cherimoya if it has one.
- Cut the cherimoya in half with the knife on the cutting board. Or pull it apart by pressing your thumbs in the base and pulling the sides back till it splits.
- Using a spoon, scoop the flesh out and pop it in your mouth. Spit out any seeds, without biting them (as they are toxic).
- Continue to scoop out the flesh until you reach the skin.

Notes
*A ripe cherimoya will have greenish-brownish skin and be easy to squeeze (like a ripe mango). If it feels hard, it's not ready to eat.
