Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- Place the papayas, cut side up, in a shallow baking dish.
- Sprinkle with the sugar and add the water.
- Bake uncovered in the middle of the oven for 1½ hours, or until the papayas are tender but still keep their shape.
- Every half hour, pull out the oven rack and baste the papayas with the liquid from the dish.
- For the last 5 minutes of baking raise the heat to 400°F and bake until the syrup gets thick and becomes the color of caramel.
- Turn off the heat and pour the coconut milk into the center of the papayas.
- Leave the papayas in the oven until the milk gets warm, about 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate and serve cold, they are good either way.
