Dark chocolate covered Lucuma

Lucuma fruit is Peru’s culinary delicacy par none. Firm and aromatic, its orange-and-yellow flesh is similar to pumpkin or canistel with a rich, full-bodied, maple-like flavor. Café Britt covers bits of delicious lucuma fruit with the finest dark chocolate. One taste of this creamy, curious sweet and you’ll know why lucuma is called "The gold of the Incas".
 
An ancient fruit that remains a favorite today, lucuma is native to the cool highlands of Peru and grows best above 1,000 meters (3,280 feet). To taste fresh lucuma, visit Peru during harvest from January to April. Lucuma is an excellent source of fiber, vitamins and minerals. It contains a remarkable concentration of beta-carotene, niacin and iron. Extremely versatile, lucuma adds a curious, pleasing flavor to ice cream, pies, cookies, cakes, and desserts.
