Chef tips
For deeper flavor, use a medium- to dark-roast coffee. The cherimoya should be ripe to provide natural sweetness and a silky texture without needing much honey.
Substitutions
You can swap the plain yogurt for Greek yogurt for a thicker texture, or for plant-based yogurt if you want to avoid dairy. Honey can be replaced with maple syrup. If you do not have cherimoya, the recipe loses its original character, so replacing it is not recommended.
