The best ice creams are made with fresh ingredients, and that goes for sorbets too. Fresh fruit is abundant in Ecuador, and it is put to good use. Some of the best ice creams, though they are really sorbets as they lack any cream or milk products, are made from blackberries and guanabana. Blackberries are so abundant here, you can find frozen blackberry pulp in the market for juice, and can buy a pound or so of blackberries in the market for $1. Same goes for strawberries.
Guanabana is another commonly found tropical fruit, which makes great juice and ice cream. It´s white in color, and has a refreshing, apple-pear flavor without any tartness. A great choice for an ice cream is to pair it with blackberry, as they tartness of the blackberries is smoothed out by the guanabana.
