Instructions

1- Soak the Múcua:

• Place dried múcua pieces in a clear plastic container.

• Let it soak, allowing the fruit to soften thoroughly.

2- Strain the Múcua:

• Use a spoon to press and extract the smooth pulp.
• Discard the seeds and fibers.

3- Whip the Cream:

• In a clean mixing bowl, pour the fresh cream.
• Use the Braun electric hand mixer to whip until it thickens and forms soft peaks.

4- Combine Ingredients:

• Add condensed milk to the whipped cream.
• Optionally, add lemon zest or passion fruit for a flavor boost.
• Mix until fully combined and smooth.

5- Blend Múcua and Cream:

• Incorporate the strained múcua pulp with the cream and condensed milk mixture.
• Continue mixing to achieve a homogeneous consistency.

6- Prepare for Freezing:

• Ladle the mixture into small cups or a larger freezer-safe container.
• Cover and freeze until it reaches an ice-cream-like consistency.

7- Serve with Flair:
