Thanks Janet! It could be related to Pouteria, at least the leaves and this description of the fruit of Pouteria lucuma on 'Tradewindsfruit':
orange colored, dry pulp that is reminiscent of a hard boiled egg yolk in appearance. Flavor is very sweet, unique, and is used to flavor ice creams and beverages
fits it very well apart of course of the size and the fact that mine are grouped in neat bundles.
The fruits of mine had about a diameter of 3cm, not big at all.
I remember now someone told me that the fruit is being used to flavor ice cream!
The seeds of mine were also not in separated chambers, but 'glued' together inside the fruit, like I posted above.

24 species in the area! (Flora do Brasil), a lot but still doable.. Hilarious!
