Ingredients

2-3 cups diced papaya (2-3 pounds)
1 16-ounce package soft tofu
¼ cup coconut cream (sub with coconut milk and a tablespoon of coconut powder)
2-3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Peel the papaya, cut it into small pieces, and place them in a food processor. Blend until coarsely puréed. Set aside.
Place the tofu and coconut cream in a food processor. Process until creamy, then add sugar, lime juice, and vanilla. Stir or pulse to combine.
In a large bowl, gently fold the papaya puree into the creamy tofu blend until blended. Garnish with mint and serve immediately.

Notes

Select a ripe papaya (reddish orange). It should feel heavy for its size, and if it's a little less ripe than ideal, let it ripen at home to bring out its natural sweetness. When fully ripe, it should be reddish orange inside—sweet, juicy, and soft.
Have all your ingredients cold for a more refreshing dessert. Or let it chill in the fridge for an hour or two before serving.
