Ingredients
100g of sugar
2 tablespoons of chopped cashews
2 ripe papayas, with fresh pulp
250ml of heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons of chopped cashews
2 ripe papayas, with fresh pulp
250ml of heavy whipping cream
Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh, ripe papayas in the produce section of your grocery store or specialty markets. Frozen pulp can be found in the frozen foods aisle, often in tropical or exotic fruit sections. Heavy cream is available in the dairy aisle, and chopped nuts like cashews are usually in the baking or snack aisle. For the best flavor, buy organic or fresh nuts and toast them lightly before chopping. If fresh papayas are hard to find, frozen or canned papaya pulp is a good alternative. Specialty or international markets often carry tropical fruits and nuts, and online grocery stores can be a convenient option for hard-to-find ingredients.
Preparation method
- Slice the papayas in half and remove all seeds
- Scoop out the pulp of one papaya and blend until smooth
- Chop the pulp of the second papaya into small pieces and set aside
- Whip the heavy cream with the sugar until stiff peaks form
- Gently fold the papaya purée into the whipped cream, keeping it light
- Add the chopped papaya pieces and fold carefully
- Pour the mixture into ice cube trays or a suitable container and freeze for at least 4 hours
- To serve, briefly dip the container in warm water to loosen the ice cream
- Cut into cubes, serve in bowls or cups, and sprinkle with chopped cashews
- For an extra zing, squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over the servings
