Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a saucepan, heat the custard-apple pulp, heavy cream, and whole milk over medium heat until it comes to a simmer.

5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature.
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
