Ingredients
- 700 g ripe papaya, peeled and seeded
- 400 ml cold milk
- 200 ml evaporated milk
- 60 g sugar, to taste
- juice of ½ lime
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Method
Chill the fruit first
Cube the papaya and freeze it for twenty minutes. Ice cubes water a batida down; frozen fruit does the same job and makes it thicker instead.
20 minBlend briefly
Blend with the milks, sugar and vanilla for no more than thirty seconds. Long blending warms it and turns papaya slightly bitter.
A squeeze of lime
Lime is what keeps it from being cloying. Papaya is sweet and low in acid, and without it the glass tastes flat halfway down.
