Treat your ingredients with care...
- Papaya — Make sure to use ripe papayas for the best flavor and texture. The papaya should be soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma.
- Lime — Squeeze fresh lime juice for the best flavor. Avoid using bottled lime juice as it may lack freshness.
- Condensed milk — Use sweetened condensed milk for a creamy and sweet taste. If you prefer a lighter version, you can use low-fat condensed milk.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra tropical twist, you can add a splash of coconut milk to the mixture.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture before pouring it into the serving glasses.
- Serve the Creamy Papaya Delight with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for added crunch and flavor.
- If you don't have individual serving glasses, you can use a large glass bowl to make a family-style dessert.
- Experiment with different fruits such as mango or pineapple to create your own variations of this creamy dessert.
Serving advice
Serve the Creamy Papaya Delight chilled in individual glasses for an elegant presentation. You can also top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of indulgence.
