If you have access to fresh papayas, Papaya Milkshakes are a great treat.The portion size, consistency, and sweetness of your drink can be adjusted to make it taste better.The following ingredients can be used, but they are not the only way to make a papaya milkshake.You can make the shake in about ten minutes.
Step 1: It's a good idea to use a ripe papaya.
Even if it was ripe when you bought it, be sure to taste it before drinking it.There are three ways to tell if a papaya is ripe without cutting it open.There is a green papaya outside.The skin of ripe papaya is rich in red, orange, and yellow.The important thing is that the fruit is not completely green.The papaya should be squeezed gently.The skin will give a small amount if it is ripe.The fruit will be hard and firm if it is not ripe.The fruit will start to feel squishy if it is overripe.The fruit came from the stem.Nothing rotten or overly-sweet is what you should smell.You may be able to use this method if you are familiar with the smell of papaya.
Step 2: It's possible to use local papaya.
Papaya is fresh and delicious when it is locally grown.Papayas can be found in Hawaii, Costa Rica, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, and India.Pick the fruit fresh or buy a ripe one if it grows in your area.If it doesn't grow near you, try to find fruit that's been imported from as close to you as possible.Some of the sweetest papayas on the market are the small- to medium-sized red-orange varieties.Seed removal is much easier with the Sunrise than with other types.It's possible to try kapaho papaya.The small- to medium-sized fruit with sweet, yellow flesh is known for it's location in Hawaii and Costa Rica.Try a Mexican fruit.Mexican papayas have red or yellow flesh on the inside and are much larger than kapaho.The Mexican varieties are not as sweet as the Hawaiian ones, and some say that they have a bland or bitter flavor.Mexican yellows are sweeter than Mexican reds, but still not as sweet as the Hawaiian breeds.You can try an Australian variety.The fruit of the Bettina and Pearson cultivars are large and sweet.There are two types of papayas in Western Australia, both of which have yellow flesh.
Step 3: To make the shake sweeter, use honey or sugar.
If you are using a bitter or bland papaya, the sweetener helps liven up the taste.It depends on how sweet you want the shake to be.If you're in doubt, make sure you stick to the conservative side so that you don't end up with a dessert that's too sweet.Some varieties of papaya are very sweet.It's not necessary to limit yourself to honey and sugar.Use your favorite sweetener.
Step 4: Use cold milk.
The thickness of your milk will affect the consistency of the milkshake.You will have a thick drink if you use rich milk.The shake will be proportionally thin if you use skim milk or a thin non-lactose milk.It is possible to balance out the consistency with a scoop of ice cream or yogurt.Try several ingredients and see what works for you.
Step 5: Ice cubes can be used to make a blended-ice shake.
If you use a thin milk, it will add a bit of crunch to the shakes.Start with 3-4 ice cubes.If you're just trying to make the shake a bit thicker, add more cubes or less.The ice cubes should be broken by the blender.
Step 6: Black pepper powder can be added.
Some people love how the bitter bite of black pepper contrasts with the sweet scent of papaya, and it can lend an aromatic punch to the milkshake.Unless you love pepper, be careful not to over use it.You can either blend the pepper into the mix or sprinkle it on the shake.
Step 7: The papaya needs to be washed.
It is important to wash the surface of the fruit before eating it.If the outside of the fruit is contaminated with chemicals, you might want to slice it before washing it.
Step 8: Wait until it is cold to store a ripe papaya.
Papayas can be eaten at room temperature, but it's best to serve them cold.If you want to prepare a whole papaya, place it in the fridge.It is possible to freeze the papaya to cool it more quickly, but you may need to thaw it a bit before using it.Remove the papaya from the fridge when you are ready to make a drink.
Step 9: Cut the papaya in half and lay it on its side.
You should be able to see the seeds in the center of the fruit.If you don't have access to the seed, slice off a bit more.
Step 10: The seeds should be removed.
Take the papaya out of the bowl.Scoop out the black, round seeds with a spoon.
Step 11: The papaya needs to be removed.
Use the side that you sliced as the base to stand the papaya.Take thin, downward slices to slice off the peel.You can hold the fruit without touching it if you leave a small cap of peel at the top.Remove the peel from the papaya by laying it back on its side.
Step 12: Take the papaya and open it.
The stem of the papaya is cut off.Cut the papaya in half.
Step 13: The seeds and fibers should be removed.
You can see the seeds if you flip the papaya over.Scoop out the remaining seeds with your spoon.It is not necessary to remove white fibers for a smooth shake.
Step 14: Use a sharp knife to slice the papaya.
The chunks don't need to be the same size.The smaller the bits, the more smooth your drink will be.If you can get the blades of the blender to bite into the papaya, you should be fine.
Step 15: The papaya should be mixed with honey.
Put 1 cup of diced papaya into a blender with a little bit of honey.Before you add milk, this may improve the consistency of the papaya extract.The papaya needs to be thoroughly blended and juiced.
Step 16: The milk should be put into the blender.
You can adjust the consistency later by adding more milk.If you are replacing milk with ice cream or yogurt, you can add that now as well.
Step 17: You should add your sweeteners.
If you want to do the trick, you should use 1 ton of honey, sugar, or another sweetener.After you've blended all of the other ingredients, leave out the honey/sugar if you don't know what you want.You can always add more to make it taste better.
Step 18: To taste additional ingredients, add them.
Adding a pinch of black pepper for a spicier shake would be a good idea.Extra seasonings can be added after you've tasted the basic shake.
Step 19: The shake should be made.
For a smooth consistency, blend the ingredients for 1-2 minutes.When you like the texture, stop Blending.
Step 20: The ice cubes can be added.
Once the milkshake becomes a puree, add ice cubes and blend for another 30 seconds.The ice cubes will blend into the shake, but not so much that they lose their texture.
Step 21: Before you drink it, make sure you taste it.
You can either drink the shake as it is or add more ingredients to make it taste different.Adding honey, sugar, or ice cream to the shake will make it taste better.If you are using a sweet variety of papaya, you may want to add more.Adding ice cubes or milk to the shake will make it less sweet.If you haven't already, consider adding black pepper.Adding more milk can loosen the consistency of the shake.Adding ice cubes, ice cream, or more Papaya will make the shake thicker.
