Deliciously sweet with musky undertones and a soft, butter-like consistency, papaya is best combined with a zesty taste such as lime or passion fruit (similar to watermelon that also tastes best when paired with lime, passion fruit, mint or basil!).
Today, I have made a simple ice cream with ripe papaya. The tartness of passion fruit and lime juice in the ice cream balances the sweetness from the papaya and lends a tropical flavour to the ice cream.
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas, peeled and frozen
3 cups ripe papaya flesh, frozen
1 passion fruit
(optional) juice of 1/2 lime
seeds of 1 passion fruit to garnish
Instructions
A couple hours in advance: Cut the papaya in half and remove the seeds. (While most people discard the papaya seeds, they are actually edible and have a delightful peppery flavour. Simply rinse the seeds, pat them dry, and spread on a baking tray, lined with a baking parchment. Set it on lowest temperature setting and dry the seeds until they break apart when crushed. Then fill into a pepper mill and use as pepper!) Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh from the papaya and freeze for a couple of hours.
Now, place the frozen papaya chunks, your frozen bananas (broken into pieces) and the interior of 1 passion fruit in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Taste and feel free to add sweetener or lime juice to your liking.
Scoop the ice cream mixture into a dessert bowl. To add some "crunch" and texture, spoon the seeds of one passion fruit on top.
