The recipe looks very interesting, if a bit daunting. (The hardest looking part-- to me is making the tuiles, which involves melting sugar-- twice). We, however, could not presently make this in North America, unless I live in a culinary wasteland, because I have never found any custard apples (we call them cherimoyas) that were not already rotten, or did not rot before ripening. I don't know about Europe, and what can be gotten there.
