soursop_icecreamA friend brought me 2 big sour sop fruits the other day! I gave one to my dear friend who gets just as giddy as I do over this fruit, and kept one for myself. So fun to share things we know lights others up! And this is one of those food that just looking at it makes me happy.

That leads me to today’s recipe I wanna share with YOU. Vegan Sour Sop Ice Cream with mint and vanilla goodness.

Now, in case you don’t know, sour sop is one of those fruits that has phytochemicals that kick cancer cells in the ass, kills parasites inside of our bodies, and is healthy for our liver.

And that is just a few of the many benefits of this yummy fruit that has a nickname of “ice cream fruit.”
