Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup custard apple pulp chilled, seeds removed
- 1 cup whole milk or unsweetened almond milk for a dairy-free version
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain and chilled
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract use high quality for best aroma
- 1 tbsp honey optional, adjust based on fruit sweetness
- 0.25 tsp ground cardamom to enhance the floral notes
- 4 large ice cubes for a frothy, thick texture
- 1 tbsp slivered almonds for garnish
Notes
To save time, you can de-seed the custard apple a day in advance and store the pulp in an airtight container in the fridge. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk. For a vegan version, use coconut yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
