Lucuma ice cream is a creamy dessert made with lucuma, a tropical fruit native to South America, particularly Peru and Chile. Often referred to as the "Gold of the Incas," lucuma boasts a naturally sweet, maple-like flavor, making it a popular ingredient in Latin American cuisine. The ice cream typically combines lucuma puree, milk or cream, sugar, and sometimes eggs for richness. Lucuma is celebrated for its nutrient profile, containing fiber, antioxidants, vitamins B3 and C, and essential minerals like potassium and calcium. While these nutrients offer potential health benefits, such as supporting digestion and boosting energy, lucuma ice cream is still a treat. Its sugar and fat content should be enjoyed in moderation. Whether served alone or paired with other flavors, this ice cream provides a taste of traditional Andean heritage in every bite.
