Have a look!

Once you look past its smelly, stinky odour which will remind you of smelly socks, it is actually has a nice soft and creamy centre, which tastes like almond ice-cream (Yuumm!). No wonder Southeast Asia considers it their king of fruits!

Also known as egg-fruit or yellow sapote, canistel is mainly found in Central America and Mexico. Once eaten, it will give you the feeling of relishing a bowl of custard. The fruit is usually blended with milk to make ice-creams and shakes.

The name is enough to make anyone's mouth water. They look like any normal bean, however, the content will surprise you once you split the bean. It holds a soft cotton candy-like blob that tastes like vanilla ice-cream. It is deliciously sweet and juicy.

Found mostly deep in the Amazon forests, this fruit's outer layer looks similar to a kiwi. But, it can make anyone drool because it tastes almost like chocolate! That already sent you reeling, didn't it? Get us some of this already!

Tasting like a peach and cream dessert, this fruit is also said to contain cancer fighting elements and loads of antioxidants.
