I love making homemade ice cream, and this flavor really piqued my interest! I followed the instructions exactly, even though I was tempted to add the mashed papaya from the beginning. The flavor is great - it reminds me of a papaya milk smoothie - on of my favorites here! But, the ice cream didn't freeze up completely and was still a bit too loose after freezing for three hours. Next time, I'll probably use a little less papaya. Made for team Gourmet Goddesses, ZWT9.

<p>I live in Seattle, but have also lived in the DC area, the Mid-west, California, the South, and New England, as well as China and India plus travel a fair bit, so I have experienced a good number of cuisines and like them all. I eat mostly vegetarian and mostly do a lot of scratch cooking. I am known for my creative use of leftovers and whatever is in the fridge. Too bad those recipes can't go easily into Zaar.</p>
