Web exclusive: PawPaw Ice Cream

Try this recipe with pawpaw alone, or make things a little more interesting by adding vanilla, walnuts or other complementary ingredients.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups pawpaw pulp (or more, if you want)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups cream
  • 2 cups milk

Instructions
 

  • Vanilla, walnuts, and other flavors and ingredients work well with pawpaw. But if this is your first batch, I would encourage you to try it plain to let the pawpaw stand on its own. The following is my basic pawpaw recipe:
    Combine the pawpaw and sugar. Stir in the cream and milk. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions.
