Ingredients
- 2 cups Soursop pulp (peeled and seeded)
- 3 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup Agave nectar
- 1/2 cup Water
Instructions
- Step 1: Blend 2 cups soursop pulp, 3 tbsp lime juice, 1/4 cup agave nectar, and 1/2 cup water in a high-speed blender until completely smooth and no pulp remains (about 2 minutes, scraping sides once).
- Step 2: Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing gently with a spoon to extract all liquid and discard any fibrous residue (this ensures a velvety texture).
- Step 3: Pour the strained liquid into a shallow freezer-safe dish and freeze for 3 hours, stirring vigorously with a fork every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until the mixture is uniformly smooth and thickened (about 6 stirs total).
