I am a chef on a luxury world cruise liner. I love to cook and write recipes that are inspired by foods from all over the world.

A fruity milkshake is the best way to enjoy the fruits of the season. I used a farm-grown fresh papaya to level up my refreshing milkshake. Papaya has a lot of natural sweetness, but I added canned fruit cocktail to sweeten it up even more (and make it prettier to look at!). Try this simple papaya milkshake with fruit cocktail in the comfort of your home and let me know what you think.

Cook Time

Ingredients

• 6 cups papaya, chopped
• 3 cups milk
• 1 cup fruit cocktail, drained

Necessary Tools

• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• Blender

Instructions

1. Peel and chop the papaya. For best results, the fruit should be frozen before blending.
2. Add milk. Blend until smooth.
3. Pour papaya milkshake in a glass. Top with fruit cocktail.
4. Serve and enjoy.

Tips and Techniques

• For better texture, freeze the chopped papaya before blending.
• Adjust the amount of milk for a thinner (or thicker) smoothie.
• Add other fruits if preferred.
• Want it even sweeter? Add honey.
• Use any kind of milk.
• Stir the drink to evenly distribute the fruit cocktail.

Hi Dredcuan, although I had eaten a milk shake, I had not taken a cocktail fruit with it. Will try later. Much thanks and happy new year 2021!
