Longan is a tropical fruit with a honey-like flavor that is packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, and minerals. Paired with vanilla ice cream, this recipe yields a creamy, refreshing and nutritious treat.
A native of Asia, this edible fruit is often used in East Asian soups, snacks, desserts, and sweet-and-sour foods. They are round with a thin, brown-colored inedible shell. The flesh of the fruit, which surrounds a big, black seed, is translucent white, soft, and juicy.
