Due to the mucilaginous nature of cactus fruit, tunas are a natural for making a sorbet or ice cream.
Cut about 1 kilogram of cactus tunas in half, scoop the flesh out into a blender and liquefy and then strain to remove the seeds. Lime juice and sugar can be added to taste and the mix can be cooked for a couple of minutes to dissolve the sugar. Place the fruit pulp in a shallow pan in a freezer and as the contents freeze run a fork through about three or four times over the first hour or so to break up any ice crystals forming along the edges of the container.
A drop or two of Tequila or Cointreau gives the helado an adult flavor.
