Time 1h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 papayas, small, ripe, peeled, seeded, and cut in half lengthwise
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups coconut milk (canned, bottled, or fresh)

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.
