Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (ripe but firm) Papaya
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 small (juice and zest) Lime
- 10 leaves (chopped) Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 20 pieces (small, round or square) Crackers
Instructions
Peel the papaya, remove the seeds, and slice it into thin, bite-sized pieces (oval or half-moon shapes work best). Set the slices aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with honey, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth and creamy.
Lay the crackers out on a serving plate. Spread a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the cream cheese mixture onto each cracker.
Place one slice of papaya on top of the cream cheese layer.
Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves and a very light pinch of chili flakes over the papaya slices for flavor and garnish.
Repeat until all crackers are topped and ready to serve. Adjust sea salt as needed for balance.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, creamy, and slightly spicy flavors!
