In fact, I’m thinking of adding jaggery for sweetening, the next time I make chikoo ice cream. You can also add honey or maple syrup instead of sugar. I added very little sweetened condensed milk to give it a thick consistency and sweetness. As they are naturally very sweet, you don’t need to add a lot of sugar in the recipe.
#CHIKOO FRUIT NUTRITION SKIN#
You can eat chikoo with its skin but I prefer to peel it. They are small rounds (almost the size of plums) and look very rustic with a rough brown skin and very smooth flesh. One of my favorite fruits, I always look forward to it on each visit back home during summers! We have a few chikoo trees at home and nothing is sweeter than fruits from the trees growing in your own garden.Īctually, I am not too sure if it is native to India as I recently read that it was brought to India by the Spanish, but then I have not been able to find chikoo in any country other than India! Chikoo is naturally very sweet and with its malty, caramelized taste, it is perfect for ice creams.Ĭalled sapota or sapodilla in English, chikoo (or chiku) is a summer fruit native to India. This 4 ingredients chikoo ice cream recipe is easy and delicious.
