Scoop out the seeds and discard them.

Continue blending until the mixture becomes a smooth and creamy texture ensuring that the papaya is well blended with other ingredients.
Step 3: Decorating Your Papaya Cream
Pour your creamy mixture into tall and chilled dessert glasses. Don’t fill them all the way up; leave some space for decoration.
Next, top off each glass with another scoop of vanilla ice cream. Then, drizzle some crème de cassis over each glass.
Add a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of fresh papaya fruit to each serving for an extra touch of style and flavor.

As delicious as this Brazilian Papaya Cream recipe is, it’s always fun to experiment with different flavors and add your own twist to make it your own. Here are some substitutions and variations that you can try:
– Papaya: While papaya is traditionally used for this recipe, you can substitute it with other tropical fruits like mango or pineapple for a different flavor profile.
– Vanilla ice cream: While vanilla ice cream pairs perfectly with the sweet and creamy papaya mixture, you can experiment with other flavors like coconut, dulce de leche, or even caramel.
– Creme de Cassis: This ingredient adds a sophisticated sweetness to the dish. However, if you don’t have it on hand, you can use other fruity liqueurs such as Grand Marnier or Chambord.
– Using a blender: If you prefer a smoother texture for your papaya cream, simply blend the ingredients together in a blender. A hand mixer can also work well.
– Toppings: Don’t forget the toppings! Try adding whipped cream, chopped nuts like almonds or hazelnuts, coconut flakes, or fresh fruit like berries or kiwi for an extra pop of color and texture.
With these substitutions and variations at your disposal, you can create a unique version of this classic Brazilian dessert that suits your tastes.

Serving and Pairing
When it comes to serving this Brazilian Papaya Cream, there are a variety of options available to you. The most traditional way of enjoying this sweet treat is in a tall, chilled dessert glass with a drizzle of crème de cassis on top. You could also opt for a more casual presentation and place the papaya cream in a bowl garnished with fresh mint leaves or chopped nuts.
As for pairing, the Brazilian Papaya Cream is an excellent choice to complement some classic grilled meats, such as steaks or chicken, especially if you’re dining at a Brazilian-style steakhouse or churrascaria. However, it’s also versatile enough to stand well on its own, as an indulgent dessert after any dinner.
If you’re thinking of pairing this dessert with drinks, consider serving it alongside a refreshing cocktail made with fresh papaya or another tropical fruit. The fruity flavors are sure to complement the creamy texture and sweetness of the dish.
Don’t be afraid to get creative and experiment with your pairings – this dessert can bring out the best in many dishes thanks to its versatile flavor profile.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
The Brazilian Papaya Cream Recipe is quick and easy to make, but you can also prepare it ahead of time and store it in the fridge until ready to be served. If you prepare this dish the day of your event, it is best to chill it in the refrigerator for an hour or two before serving. However, if you wish to prepare this recipe a day prior, I recommend adding some extra blended papaya to keep the cream compact and preserve its bright-orange color. Tightly seal the container and refrigerate it overnight, and leave the creamy mixture out on the kitchen counter for about 10 minutes before serving.
You can store leftover papaya cream in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. Please note that papaya can break down quickly, so try not to store longer than three days. Be sure to cover with a plastic wrap pressed tightly against its surface so that no air enters the container; otherwise, it may become discolored or develop an unwanted crust. When reheating leftovers, always reheat them in a microwave-safe bowl or pour into a pan on low heat over a stove, stirring frequently until heated through.
This dessert is perfect for entertaining because of its versatility in preparation and storing. If you have any guests arriving unexpectedly, just take out the papaya cream from your refrigerator and allow it to thaw for several minutes before spooning into your dessert bowls; this is another way to save on prep time when entertaining guests.
Overall, making this creamy dessert ahead of time allows you to relax more and have more time for other preparations. The recommended storage tips will ensure that you can enjoy this delicious Brazilian dessert at any time without any loss of quality or freshness.
Tips for Perfect Results
As a chef who prides themselves on creating delicious Brazilian and American cuisine, I know the importance of getting every recipe just right. When it comes to making Texas De Brazil’s Brazilian Papaya Cream, there are a few key tips that will help you achieve the perfect results every time. Here are some tips that will guide you when preparing this chilled dessert.
Firstly, ensure that the papaya is well ripe before use. To check if the fruit is ripe enough, press it lightly with your thumb – it should give slightly without being too soft or mushy. A ripe papaya will blend to a smoother consistency and have a sweet taste that complements well with other ingredients in the recipe.
Secondly, make sure to blend the papaya well. I recommend using a blender to achieve a smooth and creamy texture. A blender also makes it easier to mix in ice cream without compromising the creaminess of the mixture. Using blender mix ice cream and papaya will result in no lumps.
When pouring the creamy mixture into tall chilled dessert glasses, make sure not to fill them up too high as they may overflow once toppings are added. Leave some space for the crème de cassis drizzle.
When serving, consider adding whipped cream on top of each glass with sprinkles of cinnamon powder then drizzle with crème de cassis for an elevated flavor profile.
Lastly, consider pairing this dessert with other dishes from the Texas De Brazil menu like grilled meats or vila brazilian cheesecake for an authentic experience of this Brazilian steakhouse classic. You can also serve alongside fresh fruit trays or drinks such as caipirinhas, one of my favorite Brazilian cocktails!
By following these tips, you’ll be able to make a delicious Brazilian papaya cream that rivals any dessert on any fancy restaurant’s menu. So go ahead and give it a try!
