Directions
Slic the papaya in half lengthwise, then scoop out all the seeds and pulp. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor. Add the heavy cream, brown sugar, and a good sprinkle of chili-lime seasoning. Blend everything together until it’s nice and smooth, which should take about half a minute. Transfer the mixture to a bowl with a lid and pop it in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or even overnight if you can wait that long. When you’re ready, pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn it following the machine’s instructions—usually around 20 minutes. In the last few minutes of churning, toss in some chopped strawberries so they get mixed in gently. Enjoy your creamy, flavorful treat!

Storage & Reheating
