      I like sapote. We call it Chico in the Philippines. I consider it a fruit that isn't starch-based though.

      My crude test is to feed it to my cats, and if they take to it regularly, it is a starch. I would give them cooked sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, and saba (Philippine plantain) and they eat it just like they would eat bread and rice. Though I give them as treats, as they eat grated coconut with cooked fish mostly (for protein).As I don't think carbs are really all that suitable for cats, as I liken them to tigers and lions (though being human companions for a long time could have changed carbs as a suitable staple for cats, as they like to eat starch).

        @yerrag Chico and Mamey are two different fruits, both considered sapotes. Chico is the small less starchy variant. Mamey is large and the texture of a sweet potato.

              @edouard She shared it with me before
              I believe 1 cup of raw milk, 1 medium sized frozen banana and 1 cup of another frozen fruit. I tried it in my Ninja Creami and it turned out really good. Frozen Strawberries and Frozen Jackfruit are good additions.

                Thank you for sharing the recipe with @edouard, @Snow. 🙂 I did some tweaking to it using fruit juice powders instead of the additional frozen fruit to prevent the iciness they impart to the banana ice cream and the result is a perfect, creamy, soft-serve consistency. The base recipe calls for:

                •2/3 a cup of milk—I use raw cow or coconut milk
                •2 1/2 large frozen bananas—peeled when spotty and cut into 1” slices prior to freezing for easier blending
                •2 teaspoons of sugar or honey—I use Wendell Estate’s prairie honey for its neutral flavor

                To make the ice cream, I first dissolve the sweetener (and any powdered additions) in the milk, then add the bananas and blend in a high-speed blender until smooth—about 1–2 minutes. I think the base is great as is, but I’ve tried many additions that turned out well. Some of my favorites include:

                •Jackfruit and honeydew melon—it reminds me of tutti frutti
                •Coconut milk and pineapple—it reminds me of a piña colada
                •Black raspberry and vanilla—I use vanilla bean powder
                •Cinnamon white chocolate chip—I use Ceylon cinnamon
                •Mint chocolate chip—I use a peppermint extract and semi-sweet chocolate chips
                •Coffee—I use an instant, CO2 processed decaf
                •Peanut butter and chocolate—I use PB2 powder in the ice cream and top it with homemade Magic Shell (190 g of chocolate chips melted with 3 tablespoons of refined coconut oil)

                      If you try any of the flavors, let me know what you think? I get the juice powders from Amazon. The brand is Micro Ingredients:

                            Haha! It’s so fun to me too. I’ve had many experiments turn out bad, but ice cream isn’t one of them. 😁
