Mamey — the tropical fruit native to Mexico and Central America and cultivated in the Caribbean — is luscious and custardy. Milkshakes and ice cream are a natural way to use the ripe sweet fruit, a type of sapote. Vanilla paste adds another sweet, delicately floral dimension. Add sugar to your liking — you might not need it at all.
