Iced Soursop Dessert Es Sirsak

It comes as no surprise that Indonesians have mastered the fine art of creating luscious
desserts using a variety of fruits to combat the tropical heat. One of my favorites is this
Iced Soursop, unforgettably fresh and tangy, and easy to make. In the West, sirsak is
typically known as soursop or guanabana and may be difficult to find fresh. The frozen
version is found in the freezer sections of most Asian grocery stores and even in some
large western supermarkets along with other frozen fruits. It is also available in cans,
but I don’t recommend the canned version because the distinctive taste of the metal

will ruin this light and fresh dessert. This dessert is fabulous on a hot day.
