I noticed that my wife has not been having fruits recently and decided to surprise her with a fruit dish for dessert. Having tried some papaya in coconut milk before, I thought I will try making it as it seems simple enough.
| Ingredients: Some papaya, sliced 2 tablespoon Sugar 2 tablespoon Honey 1 packet coconut milk 1/2 cups water Time required: 1 hour 45 mins -1 hour 55 mins |  |
Directions:
- Preheat Oven to the hottest
- Place the papayas, cut side up, in a shallow baking dish.
- Sprinkle with the sugar and add the water.
- Bake uncovered in the middle of the oven for 45 mins, or until the papayas are tender but still keep their shape.
- Every 15 mins, pull out the oven rack and baste the papayas with the liquid from the dish.
- For the last 5 minutes of baking raise the heat to 400°F and bake until the syrup gets thick and becomes the color of caramel.
- Pour the honey on top of the papaya
- Turn off the heat and pour the coconut milk into the center of the papayas.
- Leave the papayas in the oven until the milk gets warm, about 5 minutes.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour and serve cold.
Post ramble:
Well, the papaya taste heavenly when combined with the rich aroma of coconut milk. This is one recipe I growth to love. Perhaps I could substitute the sugar, honey and water with condensed milk to get a richer favour of milk next time. ;)
