Ingredients
- 1 cup papaya (peeled, diced volume/ weight)
- 1 cup milk whole/full fat milk, or can use non-dairy alternative
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (or more/less to taste), see notes
- ½ cup ice (½ cup is around 4-5 cubes)
- 1-2 tablespoon honey, sugar or sweetened condensed milk if needed/to taste
Instructions
- Remove the seeds from the papaya and peel the skin. Dice into chunks then measure out either by volume or weight, as you prefer.
- Place the papaya, milk, vanilla and ice cubes in a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. I'd suggest trying a little to see if you need to sweeten at all or if you would like to add a little more vanilla (though go easy, it can take over) - add as needed and blend a little more to mix in.
- Divide between glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
Make sure you use a really ripe papaya for the best flavor - a little underripe will have less flavor and not be as sweet.
As noted above, the Taiwanese version does not include vanilla - you can omit if you like. And sweeteners can vary - generally liquid forms blend in a little easier but use none or one as you have/prefer.
