Wow, what a yummy way to eat chico! I have not seen a single chico for probably a decade now, but we used to have several trees in our backyard when I was growing up. I’ll definitely try this when I can finally get a hold of some.

Here in Asutalia, it is rare to get chico, but there are tins of sweet “Sapodilla” from Thailand which would be useful for this recipe! None of my family understand my craving for chico, after trying the tins,- so I am hoing this sorbet will change their minds!

Wow! You are great. I am learning a lot from you. Chico for me when I was growing up is just eaten the way it is, but now it looks sexy and yummy.

Katrina, the chico shake at Cafe Bola is just as good as the caimito shake! Sobrang yummy. It truly captures the essence of the fruit in shake form. And I like their caimito/chico shakes since it doesn’t have milk (I’m allergic to milk) so it works just fine for somebody like me. :) I am not a stakeholder nor kasosyo at Cafe Bola but the way I promote it to my friends and family when we visit the Philippines, it’s like I’m related to the owners! ;-)

Oh, that sounds just wonderful!!! I wish someone would start serving that.

By the way, I ate at Cafe Bola a few days ago, and meant to try their chico shake. Instead, I decided to try the more unusual star apple shake — it was good! It didn’t have milk, so it was refreshing and not at all watered down. It tasted just like the fruit. I was happy that they used the purple caimito, which I prefer to the green one. I have to stop by again and finally try the chico shake.

What an original and exciting idea MM! Would really love to try this, perhaps the sorbet type using an ice cream maker. You are brimming with brilliant ideas, especially using local Filipino produce. Thanks!
