What fruit is this? Fromagèe or Ackie !!!

I have been conducting a research since I came across this beautiful fruit in the North of Benin Republic here in west Africa. I believe we also have this fruit here in Nigeria but I can’t just locate it for now. It’s a fruit that opens up on its own when it is matured and ripe. The inside of it has some whitish succulent stuff in it and a glossy dark brown seed. I haven’t ever tasted it,so I can speak about the taste.

It really isn’t a popular fruit really. I believe it’s not in abundance around as well. I used Google lens and it gave me a name akie

I asked the French speaking west Africans and I was told it is called fromagée. I could add this on crowdsource and also feed in the local name. I believe it’s strictly tropical and also grows wild. What’s it called at your ends,especially in India Pakistan and maybe south America.???

Happy guiding

Cheers

the last 15 minutes i have combed the internet to see if i could come up with a solution to this puzzle to no avail. A picture search for Fromagèe brought up only your photo while Ackie photos of a reptile. now I searched with the description of the fruit “succulent stuff in it and a glossy dark brown seed”. got some results but non looks close to the fruit of our discussion. I leave you with your puzzle @SholaIB

Lol. @MrFreez

Well I still haven’t solved it myself. It’s not an urgent research though. Thank you for trying.

Cheers
