Fresh Black Sapote (Chocolate Pudding Fruit) – Buy Online in the UK

Fresh Black Sapote in the UK, also known as Chocolate Pudding Fruit, is a naturally indulgent tropical delight with a creamy, cocoa-like taste.

What is Black Sapote?

Black Sapote (Diospyros digyna) is a tropical fruit from Mexico and Central America, often nicknamed the “Chocolate Pudding Fruit” for its uncanny resemblance to rich chocolate mousse when ripe.

On the outside, it looks like a green tomato that gradually ripens to a darker olive-brown. Inside, the soft, custard-like pulp transforms into a velvety, dark brown filling with a naturally sweet, mild cocoa-like flavour. It’s often scooped straight from the skin or used as a healthy dessert base.

In the Philippines and Australia, Black Sapote is blended into smoothies and cakes, while in Mexico it’s enjoyed fresh with a squeeze of lime. Now, you can buy Black Sapote in the UK and bring this unique gourmet fruit to your own kitchen.

How to Choose, Ripen, Cut & Store Black Sapote

1. Choosing: Your fruit may arrive green and firm — that’s normal for safe delivery.

2. Ripening: Leave at room temperature until the skin darkens and feels soft, often 3–5 days. It’s ready when the pulp is fully brown and custard-like.

3. Cutting: Slice the fruit in half, scoop out the pudding-like flesh, and discard the seeds.

4. Storing: Once ripe, keep in the fridge for 1–2 days, or scoop pulp into a sealed container and freeze for smoothies or desserts.
