Ramphal Milkshake / Custard Apple Milkshake

About Ramphal: We used to name this fruit as Sitaphal (Custard Apple) in Mangalore region until we started living in Bangalore. The botanical name is Annona reticulata. These fruits may not be as sweet as Sitaphal and the texture is little granular. They are rich in Vitamin C, a nutrient that improves immune system . Here is a recipe for the milkshake.

Ingredients:
Custard apple – 1/2

Milk – 2 glasses (Cold-Refrigerated)

Sugar – 5 spoons

Method:

• Mix the pulp of fruit (along with the seeds) and ¼ glass of water in a mixer jar and blend. 
• Not to over do it in order to avoid crushing of seeds. Strain it in a juice strainer. 
• Blend milk, sugar and strained pulp to prepare the milk shake.
• Enjoy the delicious, thick milkshake. Add Ice cubes while serving, if needed.

Notes:

• Optionally, you can add roasted nuts/ dry fruits of choice.
• You can add an ripe banana to make this smoothie more nutritious & delicious too..
