Where to find ingredients
Papayas are widely available in most supermarkets and fruit and vegetable markets across the UK. Look for ripe, but not overly soft, fruits. Cashew nuts can be found in the snack or baking aisles of supermarkets, or in health food stores. Double cream is a standard dairy product found in the refrigerated section of all UK supermarkets.
Preparation method
- Cut the papayas in half and remove all seeds
- Scoop out the flesh from one papaya and process until you have a smooth purée
- Dice the flesh from the second papaya into small pieces and set aside
- Whisk the double cream with the caster sugar in an electric mixer until stiff peaks form
- Gently fold the papaya purée into the whipped cream, maintaining its lightness
- Stir in the diced papaya pieces gently
- Pour the mixture into ice cube trays or a suitable container and freeze for at least 4 hours
- To unmould, briefly dip the bottom of the container in warm water
- Cut the ice cream into cubes, serve in bowls, and finish by sprinkling the cashew nuts on top
- If desired, add a few drops of lemon juice over the bowls for a citrusy touch
