What do I do with a custard apple

Guys don't get me wrong I love custard apple ; it is just that I don’t know how to eat it hassle free; I love the smell and taste but how does one eat it; it is messy. So I start to eat it - you cannot cut it like a papaya and you cannot  eat it like apple. It is not a kiwi and not at all like a berry. It does not come with an instruction manual ; it stares at me like almost challenging me to eat. I have to spit out the seeds and it is messy if I eat with hand. Do I try spoon , knife or a fork ? Well it is challenging I just wish that it should not have been so tasty - so the struggle continues
