Milkshake Lucuma Recipe

If using fresh lucuma

Scoop about 1 cup of ripe lucuma pulp from the fruit, removing any fibrous bits or skin. If using frozen lucuma, thaw until soft and measure 1 cup.

Sweetness check

Taste a small spoonful of lucuma pulp. If it is very sweet, start with 1/2 tablespoon honey and adjust later. If bland, use the full 1 tablespoon.

Add the lucuma pulp, whole milk, vanilla ice cream, honey or brown sugar, and vanilla extract into a blender. If you want a thicker, colder shake add the ice cubes; for a creamier shake omit them.

Blend on medium-high for 30–45 seconds until very smooth and homogenous. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed and blend another 10–15 seconds.

Taste and adjust: if you want it sweeter add up to 1 additional teaspoon honey or sugar and blend briefly. If it’s too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons milk and blend until desired consistency is reached.

Pour the lucuma milkshake into two chilled glasses, leaving room for whipped cream if using.

Top each shake with a generous spoonful of whipped cream. Dust with ground cinnamon or lucuma powder and sprinkle the crumbled cookies or granola if desired for texture.

Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon.
