Pro Tips For Nailing This Recipe

Use ripe fruits: The riper your papaya and bananas, the sweeter and creamier your ice cream will taste. Overripe fruits add natural sweetness, reducing the need for added sugar.
Smoothness matters: For the smoothest texture, blend the mixture well, ensuring there are no chunks. A high-speed blender works best.
Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture: If you prefer a soft-serve consistency, serve it right after blending without freezing it.
