🇬🇧 Desserts: Papaya pie (Antigua and Barbuda)

Continuing the dessert recipes from around the world, today I share a very tasty recipe from Antigua and Barbuda, the papaya pie. A pie that has a texture similar to that of a mousse.

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe papayas
• 2 teaspoons of lemon juice
• 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 pinch of cinnamon
• 1 pinch of orange extract
• 4 spoons of flour
• 4 spoons of sugar
• 4 egg whites
• 1 medium-sized ready-made pie crust

Directions:

1. Peel the papayas and remove the seeds. Crush them roughly.
2. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon and orange extract. Mix well.
3. Combine the flour and sugar.
4. Beat the eggs until stiff peaks form.
5. Gently pour the egg whites into the papaya mixture.
6. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
7. Bake at 325 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly browned on top.
8. Serve cold.
