Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) Ripe papaya
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel and deseed the ripe papaya, then dice it into small cubes to measure 2 cups.
In a blender, combine the diced papaya, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the papaya puree, heavy cream, and whole milk. Stir well until the mixture is fully incorporated.
If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the ice cream achieves a soft-serve consistency. Then transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 3-4 hours for a firmer texture.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Freeze for 30 minutes, then stir vigorously with a fork to break up ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours until the ice cream is creamy and fully frozen.
Once frozen, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
