Créme de Papaya is a delightful Brazilian dessert that combines the tropical flavor of fresh papaya with the creamy richness of vanilla ice cream.

This dessert became popular in Brazil during the 1990s and has since become a favorite treat for many.

To make Créme de Papaya, simply blend ripe papaya with vanilla ice cream until smooth and creamy. The result is a refreshing and indulgent dessert that is perfect for hot days.

For a special touch, drizzle a bit of crème de cassis, a blackcurrant liqueur, over the top before serving. This adds a hint of tartness that perfectly complements the sweetness of the papaya and ice cream.

In Brazil, Créme de Papaya is often enjoyed as a light dessert after a meal, especially during the summer months. It is also a popular choice for dinner parties and special occasions.

While this dessert is relatively low in calories, it is important to enjoy it in moderation, especially if you are watching your sugar intake. Opting for a low-sugar or dairy-free ice cream can make this treat even healthier.
